Notes

Do watch your oven temperature, as ovens can be slightly different and the high sugar content means that these cookies may burn around the edges if the oven is too hot. 
Treacle Oat Cookies are some of the nicest biscuits I have ever made they are crisp and sweet and perfect with a cup of tea or coffee. Here are some other ideas for serving Treacle Oat Cookies:
  • Use two cookies to make an ice cream sandwich, choose your favourite ice cream. The cookies pair really well with vanilla, chocolate, rum & raisin and coffee ice cream.
  • Crush the baked cookies and serve with yogurt and fruit for breakfast.
