Golden Oats and Vanilla Cookies

14/01/2016 by Gina Leave a Comment

Don’t you just love it when you are testing a recipe and you make a complete botch of it, BUT it ends up being a fabulous recipe anyway! Well, that is what happened with this cookie. It was destined to be a “wafer thin lace cookie”, but as you can see, it is anything but.

I just love this cookie … it is chewy and moreish, and as it has no nuts, it is perfect for lunch boxes.

This recipe uses coconut flour and cornflour to help absorb some of the liquid, but knowing that not everyone will have coconut flour in their pantry, I have also tested the recipe using all cornflour (in other words using 4 tbls of cornflour). The flavour is exactly the same, but the cookie will spread just a little more and not rise quite as much, but is still delicious and looks just like a “cookie” should.  In the first picture the cookie on the left is with all cornflour, and on the right is the cookie made with a combination of coconut flour and cornflour (my preference).

I have used a tablespoon measure (make sure it is an Aussie tablespoon measuring 20g) to give me some consistency in size, and if you do the same you should end up with approximately 18 cookies.

Serves: 18 cookies
Ingredients
  • 120g butter
  • 2 tsp vanilla bean paste (I love this stuff, but use extract if you don’t have any)
  • 1 tsp pink salt flakes
  • 100g golden syrup
  • 40g pure maple syrup

  • 2 tbls cornflour
  • 2 tbls coconut flour
  • 200g rolled oats
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 160 degrees, fan forced
  2. Line two baking trays with baking paper and set aside
  3. Place butter, vanilla bean paste, salt, golden syrup and maple syrup into TM bowl and cook 6 minutes / Veroma / speed 2 / MC off
  4. Add cornflour and coconut flour and mix 10 seconds / speed 4 (don't forget to put the MC on)
  5. Add oats and mix 3 seconds / speed 3
  6. Scrape around bowl and mix for another 3 seconds / speed 3
  7. Remove mix from bowl and place into a smaller bowl (I find it easier to portion when the mix is outside of the TM bowl)
  8. Allow mixture to rest for 10 minutes to thicken up a little so that you can roll it into balls … get a bowl of water ready to dip your tablespoon in, and also to moisten your hands
  9. When ready, dip the tablespoon into the water and press it into the cookie mix, place the mix into the palm of your hands and roll into a ball, then place onto baking tray leaving a little space between each cookie (I use two trays)
  10. Once all the cookies are on the tray, dip your fingers into a little water and press mix down lightly into a round cookie shape
  11. Bake one tray at a time for 10 minutes, turn tray around and bake for a further 10 minutes until lightly golden
  12. Place cookies onto cooling rack to cool completely before storing
  13. Keeps well for at least two weeks, but possibly longer (we have usually eaten them in this time, but I feel sure they would keep for at least another week)

Flourless Chocolate Olive Oil Cake … this is not Flourless Chocolate Olive Oil Cake … this is not a large cake (it’s baked in a 20cm round cake tin), but it is rich, dark and dense and a small slice is just perfect.

Here I have served it with a raspberry coulis as I had some in the fridge, and a dollop of fresh cream. But I have also offered a recipe for a “Coffee Cream” in the post to serve with the cake too.

This version is nut free (I have used toasted sunflower seeds), but you can also use almonds if nuts are not an issue in your home.

The cake is also dairy free, is very quick to make, and gives you eight serves similar to what you see in the post here:

Marrakesh Carrots … this is a fabulous dish … Marrakesh Carrots … this is a fabulous dish … it is easy to make, and leftovers keep well in the fridge for up to three days.

I use a Thermomix to chop the carrots (it is quicker than trying to grate them), and I do like the chunky texture that gives me as opposed to “grating” which can sometimes make the carrot a little wet.

The dressing can be blended in a bowl if preferred, and the rest of the salad is prepared by hand so that I get plenty of texture.

This salad goes so well with just about any protein, and is a favourite in our home … with another hot spell fast approaching, this may be one that you would like to try:

Honey Cake – this cake is delicious just on its Honey Cake – this cake is delicious just on its own and does not need icing, but I do try to minimise waste, so when I have little bits of leftover icing from other bakes (in this case Caramel Icing from a Sticky Date Cake I made a month ago, and White Chocolate Icing from the cupcakes I made last week) I put the leftovers into small containers in the freezer … then I can often combine two or three (in this case the two icings I mentioned) which will give me enough for what I need. So last night I took the two icings from the freezer and placed them in the fridge, then this morning I removed them from the fridge and put them on my bench to allow them to come to room temperature, they were then combined and used to dress this cake. It is such a great way to use us icing “scrapes”, and no-one else is the wiser 

Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with White Chocolate Chocolate Buttermilk Cupcakes with White Chocolate Icing … requested for our number 2 son’s birthday today … these are so easy to make, and keep well for a few days at room temperature … but if it is really warm in your home (so that the icing may melt) then I would keep them in the fridge but remove them at least 30 minutes before serving.

To make things super easy for me, I decided to use up some chocolate leftovers from Christmas, so topped the cupcakes with a packet of mini Cherry Ripe’s (one of my favourite), and Nespresso Dark Chocolate tablets (they are super yummy too!) xo

Recipes for both can be found here:

Happy birthday dear Sam … love having you in our lives xo
