Awesome Oat Cookies


A week into the holidays, and I haven't had a canteen cookie in ages. Canteen cookies are these delicious, oaty fat cookies. When I say fat, I mean it is thick, very thick, unlike these Awesome Oat Cookies. Sometimes they are chewy, sometimes they are crunchy, it really depends on what time you buy them or if the canteen ladies baked them a little longer or shorter. I was really craving one, so I looked onto my Cookies board and chose to make Awesome Oat Cookies.

These cookies were very easy to make. They are very much like ANZAC cookies, having oats, golden syrup, bicarb soda and the average butter, sugar and s-r flour.

My cookies flattened and didn't hold it's rounded shape like Five Euro Food, which was sad. But it doesn't matter because they taste amazing.

I'm a lazy baker, who likes to try and bake all the cookies/cupcakes or even cake layers in one go. So if you're a perfectionist, leave about 5cm of space between each cookie because they will spread.


I made eight small cookies (pictured above) and five large ones (pictured below).


These cookies are full of butter, sugar and oats, giving it a nice crunchy and chewy texture.

The recipe can be found HERE.

    Hi there, FiveEuroFood author here! :) It's really weird they didn't hold their shape. The problem I've had with cookies in the past is that they haven't sunk "enough" (ending up like little hard pellets) so I was happy I could finally crack the problem with the cookies I posted. I wonder what caused them to completely spread out though... Did you make them very thin before baking maybe?

      Hi! That's really funny, I've always wanted my choc chip and other cookies to flatten but they never did. Ironically these cookies flattened out when I didn't want them to. I put them in as round balls (1/4 cup and 1/8 cup size) and they just spread into flat disks. Thanks for your concern but don't worry, I don't think your recipe has any flaws in it, I just have a very dodgy/old oven. Great recipe though! :)
