Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 26 minutes
Total Time 41 minutes
Servings: 24 cookies

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g dried fruit of choice I used apricots, dried apple and craisins
  • 100 g butter
  • 100 g honey
  • 100 g light muscovado sugar or brown sugar
  • 4 Medjool dates pitted
  • 200 g rolled oats
  • 20 g cornflour
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tsp sea salt flakes or 1/2 tsp fine sea salt

Method
 

  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.
