Oaty Raspberry Cookies
prep: 15 mins / cook: 25 mins / inactive: 0 mins / total: 40 mins / quantity: 12 - 14 cookies Print recipe?
I love chocolate and I’m always trying to find new and delicious ways to use it. But my very favourite cookie HAS to be an oat cookie. Thick, soft, chewy and incredibly moreish. Not over sweet and with some kind of dried fruit to make them even chewier!
Like a lot of good recipes – you know, the ones you return to time and time again because they’re easy and delicious – these oaty raspberry cookies are a variation on a theme. Their first incarnation used half quinoa flakes and half oats for these mincemeat cookies. And are a GREAT way to use that half empty jar of leftover mincemeat lurking in your cupboard! Other times I’ve made them with sultanas, orange zest, chocolate chips, chopped nuts.
But as we’re enjoying bright mornings and longer evenings I wanted something fruity and summery. Fresh fruit would completely alter the texture of these chewy cookies and it was something I really wanted to keep. Enter Foodie Flavours and their wonderful range of concentrated essences. And raspberry pairs SO well with goji berries to give incredible depth of flavour ?
I can honestly eat these cookies any time of the day – they’re a great quick grab and go breakfast (as they store quite well for a few days) and they’re the perfect afternoon cuppa partner.

Hi,
You wrote ”1/2 half cups” of rolled oats. So you have an oily batter if there is more butter than flour?
Thank you
Hello! Yep I missed off the 1 before the 1/2 – so it’s 1 + 1/2 cups of oats needed for the recipe. It’s now been edited to show the correct measurement. Thanks for finding the mistake – looks like I could do with a full-time proof reader ?
