Raisin Oatmeal Cookies.


This is a new recipe of ours that Holly tried for the first time last weekend. We had planned to make them on Sunday together but while I was out on Saturday, I got a text with a picture of these amazing looking cookies saying “Sorry. I felt like procrastabaking”. They taste amazing too and are relatively healthy. We’re suckers for buying the exact ingredients that recipes require. Hence, we specially bought golden sugar but I’m sure if you use raw sugar it would do the same trick. The recipe (adjusted from huckleberryfarms.co.nz) insists it is gluten free but we’re not convinced. A quick google search was inconclusive so we’re not 100% sure if this is suitable for our lovely gluten free friends. We should warn you the recipe is quite small and dry but just use small spoonfuls on the tray and leave room between them because they grow!
