These have seeds in? But they’re nice! – Mark
Last week, I posted a recipe for Mary Berry inspired white chocolate cookies and got a bit addicted to them, having to give most of them away for fear of ruining my commitment to Weight Watchers.
Experiencing withdrawal symptoms this week, we gave a marginally healthier version a go and it turns out to be just perfect for breakfast with a strong cup of tea or coffee.
This recipe makes 12-14 biscuits and is super easy, so your small people should be able to help.
Ingredients
- 125g unsalted butter / dairy-free spread
- 150g golden granulated sugar
- 1 medium free range eggs
- 1/2tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tbsp soya milk (or normal milk)
- 140g porridge oats
- 110g self-raising flour
- 50g milk chocolate chips / vegan chocolate chips
- 35g raisins
- 25g sunflower seeds
Instructions
- Put the butter / spread in the microwave in a large bowl for bursts of 10 seconds until well softened but not melted
- Stir in the sugar with a fork, then whisk until the mixture is fluffy
- Whisk together the milk, eggs and vanilla extract, then whisk into the main mixture
- Stir in the flour, oats until well combined
- Add the chocolate chips, seeds and raising and mix well
- Use your hands to roll 1.5 inch dough balls and place onto a non-stick an oven dish at least 2 inches apart, pressing down only slightly
- Bake at Gas Mark 4 for 15-20 minutes, until just colouring at the edges
- Cool briefly on the tray, then transfer to a cooling rack with a spatula
It’s yum.

These look and sound delicious! Though they do seem to have most of our favourite biscuit ingredients in so I’m not surprised :-)
Love this recipe! I have a recipe for oat and raisin cookies that my bro-in-law thinks could be improved with chocolate chips but think I’ll make these for him instead before we all go to Ayr in a fortnight, he might appreciate them on the bus journey going over. Ta for that xXx
Any idea how many weight watchers points they are? X
There’s 83 points in the mix in total, so 6 or 7 points depending in whether you make 12 or 14 from the mix. Thanks for commenting.
You beat me to it Ljfx! Sadly I fear that is too many points for me, I rarely have that many left to spend on something more than about 1 or 2, sob
These are chunky palm size cookies that are about .5 of an inch tall in the middle. You could probably make them a quarter of the size in the recipe and still get a respectable size biscuit that’s only 1.5 points! :)
