Lemon Ginger Oat Cookies with Date Syrup
It’s healthy… right?
Ingredients
150g wholemeal flour
1 tsp baking powder
200g rolled/instant oats (unflavoured)
150g butter (or 150g dairy free butter)
100ml D’Vash Organics Date Syrup
Flavour option #1
2 lemons (rind only)
1 inch of fresh ginger or 1/2 tbsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
100g white chocolate (melted for decoration after cookies are baked)
Flavour Option #2
1 large orange (rind only)
100g Dark Chocolate (melted for decoration after cookies are baked)
Method
Get a large bowl and add the flour, baking powder, and oats. Mix together. Then add the D’Vash Organics Date Syrup, Butter, and your flavour option choice (minus the chocolate).
Bring the mix together with a butter knife or your hands, I prefer hands… washed before use obviously.
Once you have the dough, take off small pieces or large pieces to the size you wish for your cookies and place onto a baking tray lined with parchment/cake spray. You can roll up into a ball and squash down, or bring the mix together into a rough circle. Make sure they are around 1 cm thick.
Bake at 350f/185c/gas 4 for 10-15 minutes until the base has turned slightly brown.
Take out and leave to cool on the tray for 2 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack shortly after to cool completely. You can eat these warm, they are delicious.
For decoration, take your chocolate and melt either using a double boiler, or a microwave on 30 second bursts stirring between each turn until the chocolate has melted completely.
Transfer the chocolate to a piping bag/sandwich bag, and cut off a small hole in the end/corner. You can also use a small holed nozzle if desired. Drizzle the chocolate over the cookies in a zig zag motion. Or in spirals. Or even skip the piping bag and dip them into the melted chocolate.
Feel free to experiment with the flavours, or add some crushed nuts to the mix for an extra nutty flavour.
You can even enjoy with a glass of fresh lemonade by cutting the lemon you took the rind from, cutting this in half and adding it to 2 cups (500ml) water and adding D’Vash Organics Date Syrup to sweeten. REFRESHING!
