Seed cookies

Veg

You can buy seed and nut mixes from your local health food shop or supermarket. You can use whatever combination you like. Dried fruit also works well.

Ingredients

Preparation method

  1. Preheat the oven to 190C/375F/Gas 5.

  2. Rub together the flour, caster sugar, oats and margarine until it begins to come together as a dough. Add a little bit more flour if the mix seems too wet.

  3. Mix in the seed and nut mixture.

  4. Roll the dough out into a long sausage shape on a board, and cut into rounds about 1cm/½in wide. Because of the seeds and nuts in the mixture it may be quite crumbly.

  5. Grease and flour a non-stick baking tray. Place each round on the tray and gently press each down. Place a few seeds on top of each cookie.

  6. Bake at the top of the oven for 15 minutes, or until golden brown. Leave to cool for at least ten minutes before placing on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container.
