How to make Jeenas Kitchen Fruit and Oat Cookies



Place fruit into a small bowl and cover with warm water.



In a large mixing bowl place the oatbran, 2oz light brown sugar, fine corn meal, baking powder and spelt flour.

Mix well.


Add margarine and place into a mixer, mix until you have a bread crumb texture, once you have a bread crumb texture carry one mixing a litle more until it all starts to slightly clump together.

You can do this using your fingers and rubbing the cookie mixture between them.



Chop the dates and apricots into chunks.

Add the fruit to the cookie mixture and 3-4 tablespoons of the water that the fruit soaked in along with the vanilla the 1+1/2 oz sugar.

Add a tablespoon at a time to the cookies mixture to be sure you get the right consistancy.

Discard the rest of the water.



You should be left with a thick loose cookie mixture, it may seem slighty wetter than other cookie mixtures.



Place small spoon fulls onto a greased and floured baking tray.


You do not need to use large spoon fulls as the cookies will spread in the oven, give each cookie space to puff up in the oven.

Place into a hot oven at 180C for 15 minutes or until golden.



Once cooked use a spatula to remove the cookies from the hot tray straight away.

Place onto a cooling rack.



Enjoy these very tasty fruit and oatbran cookies.
