Oatmeal, Raisin and Honey cookies (Christmas)

Hello!

I'm trying to commit to this blogging thing, and succeeding so far!


I was feeling lazy today, after doing too much work, so I decided to make some cookies. However to make them slightly guilt free, I made oatmeal, raisin and honey ones. I was pleasantly surprised with how cinnamony and Christmassy they tasted, and would definitely remake them for a Christmas party or even gift for a friend. Fortunately they were quick to make and turned out to be delicious!


Here's the recipe I used to make them:
1. Preheat oven to 150°C (fan 130°C, gas mark 2) and line two trays with baking paper
2. Mix plain flour (150g), oats (90g), cinnamon(2tsp), sugar(200g), raisins(90g) and ground/crushed almonds(70g) together
3. Melt the butter(125g) in the microwave and then add honey(2tbsp), bicarbonate of soda(1/2 tsp) boiling water(2tsp) and honey(2tbsp)
4. Stir both the warm butter mixture and dry flour mixture together.
5. Create small flat topped balls of mixture on the baking trays to your desired size, however leave space for them to expand and spread.
6. Bake for around 15+ minutes then leave to cool on a wire rack.
7. EAT AND ENJOY









Goodbye

Hello!

Welcome to my blog!

Currently I'm unsure what I shall be writing about, but hopefully over time a theme will develop.

I am planning to use this space as a way to express my thoughts and ideas on... Life? I have read many other people's blogs for years now and felt inspired to become a professional procrastinator. So here's my blog! 

A (little) bit about myself

I'm currently in senior school

My favourite subjects are: art, chemistry, geography and maths. (Go on, laugh!) 

My favourite animals are: penguins, elephants, polar bears, guinea pigs, giraffes and dolphins. (And yes, I'm rather indecisive!)

Here's a lovely quote to brighten your day:

Goodbye,

Hannah
