We were going to make flapjacks this weekend, but we were out of golden syrup, so instead we made oatmeal cookies with white chocolate chips. They’re light, crumbly and they smell amazing when they come out of the oven.
They’re a bit like yummy flapjacks – JD, 4
This easy recipe for kids makes about 40 cookies. It’s based on Mary Berry’s oat cookies, but with several tweaks and changes.
Here’s what we did.

- 300 g golden granulated sugar
- 2 medium free range eggs
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 2 tbsp milk
- 280 g porridge oats
- 220 g self-raising flour
- 100 g white chocolate chips
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 180C (160C fan).
- Put the softened butter in a bowl, then whisk in the sugar until the mixture is pale and fluffy.
- Add the milk, eggs and vanilla extract and whisk again.
- Stir in the flour, oats and chocolate chips until well combined.
- Dollop heaped teaspoons of mixture onto an oven dish at least 1.5 inches apart.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, until just golden.
- Cool briefly on the tray, then transfer to a cooling rack.

Big chewy, dark chocolate chip cookies
We are proud of these dark chocolate chip cookies. They are much like the ones you get from cookie stalls in malls, except better – there’s no chalky aftertaste. The golden syrup makes them chewy and sweeter than sweet and that sets off the slightly bitter dark chocolate perfectly.

I’ve just made these. Great tasting cookies and easy to make. I think I over-heaped my teaspoon though so I got 24 huge cookies rather than 40 smaller ones! :-)
Emily says
Heh, I made huge one with some of the mix. They’re nice too as the bigger ones stay chewy in the middle.

They look yummy! Anything oaty goes down well here and we’re massive fans of flapjacks. I have a few oaty biscuit recipes and they seem to disappear rather quickly, they always taste really comforting.
