Oatmeal biscuits

[Susan123]

Has anyone got a recipe for oatmeal biscuits?  (sweet ones)  I am looking for a biccie that is not too chewy and not too crispy either, but just a nice consistency with maybe a bit of coconut in it.  I love a flaky one, when your mouth waters (like mine is now!) as you open the tin and know that you will have a "moment" with your cuppa and your biccie... I better stop drooling... But I am serious about the recipe!! Thanks!

We like this one because it has chocolate chips...

It is, however, a cookie recipe.  Kids especially like it since it's baked all in one and they can break off the size pieces they like...

1/2 C. butter, softened

1/2 C. firmly packed brown sugar

1/4 C. granulated sugar

1 egg

1 t. vanilla

3/4 C. all-purpose flour

1/2 t. baking soda

1/4 t. salt

1 1/2 C. oats, quick or old-fashioned, uncooked

1 C. semisweet chocolate chips

Heat oven to 350� F.

In large bowl, beat butter and sugars with electric mixer until creamy. Add egg and vanilla; beat well. In small bowl, combine flour, baking soda and salt. Add to butter mixture; mix well. Stir in oats and chocolate chips; mix well.

Press dough evenly into bottom of 10-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet. Bake 20 minutes or until top is lightly browned (do not overbake as cookie will continue to bake after it is removed from oven). Cool about 10 minutes.

Cut into 8 to 16 wedges. Serve with ice cream and caramel topping or chocolate syrup, if desired.

BTW, we cook our in a slightly  greased black cast iron skillet... well seasoned... Enjoy!

Bake for about 35 mins until golden brown. Leave to cool for about 10 mins ,mark them into about 8 bars,lift out with a palette knife and leave to cool completely on wire tray.

By the way the melting moments sound delish and am going to give these a try.
