  • About

These chocolatey biscuits have an extra crunch provided by the oatmeal. They seem to vanish as soon as they are made.

Ingredients

  • 4 oz/112 g butter
  • 3 oz/84

Method

Put the butter in a bowl and beat until smooth, then beat in the caster sugar, until well creamed. Sieve the flour and cocoa and stir into the creamed mixture with the vanilla and oatmeal, mixing thoroughly. You will have a stiffish dough.

Roll out on a floured work surface to a thickness of about ¼ inch
