Oats and Raisin cookies

These Oats and Raisin cookies make the perfect tea time or lunch box treat. Easy to make and quick to bake these cookies are irresistibly delicious.

Oats and Raisin cookies

Besides making a great lunch box snack which I thought was a better idea, my husband decided that this makes a perfect breakfast with a glass of milk. I thought it was a wee bit too sweet for breakfast but he disagreed and ate them first thing in the morning anyway. So whose side are you on with this? Breakfast or lunch box snack? Choose wisely now...wisely meaning me!?

Oats and Raisin cookies

This recipe has golden syrup and brown sugar that gives these cookies its sweet taste. The combination of the syrup and brown sugar is responsible for the chewy texture of these cookies. Oh and the raisins also add to the sweetness to some degree. If the stores in your area do not keep golden syrup, a good substitute will be corn syrup. It will taste just as good with this substitution. So you see this little snack is full of different textures from the chewiness to the crunchiness of the oats and desiccated coconut. Really amazing.

So whether you are going to enjoy this as a tea time snack, breakfast or raw cookie dough( though I strongly suggest you bake it first) ?these little delights make a great treat!

Enjoy♥

i think this sounds like an awesome breakfast and lunch box snack! how about both? (; and definitely a raw cookie dough / cake batter / cheesecake batter / etc person too! sometimes it's helpful in judging if the final product will be good and sometimes it's just too tempting to pass up (:

Thank you Heather for choosing both, now there is a draw here that makes my husband and me even on the choice.
? Hahaha...sometimes the raw dough is too tempting to pass up and then I end up with a tummy ache from eating too much of it and never learn my lesson!

I just have to say no to sugar first thing in the morning :). But I'll say yes to the cookies any other time of day! Raisins are one of my favorite foods and any cookie made with them is automatically one of my favorites too!

Definitely with you on this Kelsie. No sugar first thing in the morning, although they are great as a snack.

Ok you had me at "golden syrup"

Since there is oatmeal, I think it the cookie qualifies as breakfast food. Sorry! These cookie look so good, I would eat them morning, noon, and night! I'm loving the addition of desiccated coconuts.

I could definitely eat these for breakfast but the responsible part of me says they would be a good snack. Yes, I have to admit I just love to eat dough and batter, sometimes I wonder why even back it, lol. These cookies look so yummy, I can see why you kept snacking. Yum! Take care.
