Method

1. Preheat the oven to 180C/375F. Grease or line 2 large baking sheets and set aside.
2. Add all the ingredients to a large bowl and combine with a wooden spoon.
3. Spoon out equal cookie dough balls (I use an ice cream scoop for consistency). Flatten the balls of dough slightly before baking for 8-10 minutes until lightly coloured.
4. Remove from the oven when still soft as they will continue to firm while cooling. Leave on the tray for several minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
5. Will keep in an airtight container for several days.
