Ingredients
  • 100g dried fruit of choice (I used apricots, dried apple and craisins)
  • 100g butter
  • 100g honey
  • 100g light muscovado sugar, or brown sugar
  • 4 Medjool dates, pitted
  • 200g rolled oats
  • 20g cornflour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes, or ½ tsp fine sea salt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees fan forced
  2. Line two trays with baking paper
  3. Place dried fruit into the TM bowl and chop 8 seconds / speed 6 and put aside
  4. Do not wash bowl
  5. Place butter, honey and sugar into TM bowl and melt 6 minutes / Veroma / speed 2 / MC off
  6. Add dates and mix 4 seconds / speed 6 / MC on
  7. Add oats, cornflour, cinnamon, and salt and mix 10 seconds / speed 3
  8. Scrape down sides, add fruit and mix for another 10 seconds / speed 3
  9. Remove mix from TM bowl and place into separate bowl to rest for 10 minutes before rolling into balls
  10. Roll mix into balls (I use a tablespoon measure which I rest in a small bowl of water before placing the mixture into it which helps releasing the mixture, and also provides a little moisture on my hands when rolling the dough into balls) and place onto baking tray, then with your fingers lightly flatten the balls so they are a nice round shape
  11. Bake 10 minutes, turn tray around and bake for a further 10 minutes
  12. Remove tray from oven … at this point I like to flatten the cookies a little with a spatula ... leave cookies on tray for 10 minutes and then move to a cooling rack to cool completely
  13. They will be soft when out of the oven, but will firm up on cooling
  14. Store in a sealed container where they will keep for at least two weeks
Notes
I use oats from "GF Oats" (see main post for link) so this is a wheat free recipe which gives it a double tick: nut free and wheat free.

You should get 24 cookies out of the mix if you use a 1 tablespoon (20g) measure.
