What are the first things that come to your mind when you think of oats...Well, if boring was one of those, these oat cookies will hopefully prove otherwise!

Nutty, sweet, buttery, and with an undertone of gentle, gingery spiciness, the things mentioned are but some of a few ways to describe these cookies.

The fibre-filled cookies are not only tasty, they also fulfill the looks-department with their rustic, golden-ness, and they are super easy to make.


You're able to store them in a sealed container for up to 10 days outside at room temperature, and longer when stored in the fridge.

    I didn’t have actual crystallized ginger so I used fresh ginger cut into tiny cubes that I boiled in sugar water (to make ginger syrup) and used those instead. Maybe crystallized ginger is stronger (although eaten alone these packed a punch) so I was expecting more “zing” from these cookies. BTW the paper to line the cookie sheet proved unnecessary and only made the cookies harder to get off the cookie sheet.
