Best cookies
 

I love Belvitas so looked online for a make at home version. I found out there is a recipe called Hobnobs (British I think). Not quite a Belvita but really really good. More like an oatmeal cookie without raisins or nuts.

Calls for golden syrup, but I just use a little corn syrup. Can use honey too.
Love it and thought some of you might want to give them a try.
Got some in the oven right now by the way.
Serita

Baked them this afternoon. Used regular flour along with a bit of salt and a teaspoon and a half of baking powder to make it same as self rising. I didn't need to bake mine as long as stated. I used 300 degrees but only baked fifteen minutes or so. I added chopped walnut and a few chopped peanuts. Yummy!

What is golden syrup? At 1 tsp maybe it's not necessary to the recipe but I am curious what golden syrup is.

I don't really know what it is...I think it is how it is processed. I saw where some people used honey or corn syrup. So I used corn syrup. I guess having the golden syrup might result in a different flavor, but I am happy with the corn syrup. I believe I saw where it is available on Amazon (isn't everything?).

My husband loves nuts in his cookies but I made it close to the recipe. Wasn' t sure if nuts might make the cookies too crumbly??

Yum. Thanks for sharing..

You're welcome....I'm glad that others like it too.

Look good! I would be tempted to use maple syrup in place of golden. I think it would be tasty

You should try that.

I think any kind of syrup would work to be honest, even pancake syrup. I fixed another batch today since he likes thin crispy cookies. I baked them a little longer and flattened them a lot. He's happy now.
