OAT WALNUT WAFERS…From The Australian Heritage Cookbook
I first bumped into Susan, the Food Blogga gal, last year over her Eat Christmas Cookies event…& thereafter never let her go. 
A charming blogger, beautiful posts & a wealth of trivia about whatever she posts, Food Bloggas’ is one of my fave haunts. She works her charm into my world, & then, added bonus, there’s Dermadoc who drops by inadvertently at times too…LOL! Her Mom & Dad are accomplished foodies too…& Susan’s blog is fun all the way. I’m late sending in an entry this year; but better late than never, I’m racing these cookies to Eat Christmas Cookies, Season 2, an event that I love! 
OAT WALNUT WAFERS
from The Australian Heritage Cookbook, pg 104
Ingredients:
Butter – 90 gms; melted
Egg – 1; lightly whipped with a fork
Sugar – 3/4 cup
Flour – 2 tbsps; self raising (I added a 1/4 tsp of baking powder & a pinch of salt to plain flour)
Walnuts – 1/2 cup; chopped (optional)
Method:
-
Preheat the oven to 180C. Grease 2 baking trays.
-
Place oats in a bowl, pour over melted butter, & allow to stand for 10 minutes to soften oats.
-
Mix in the eggs, sugar & flour ( & walnuts if using).
-
Place small portions, well apart on greased baking trays & flatten with the back of a spoon.
-
Bake 10 minutes, till brown. Cool a few minutes, & then remove carefully to rack.
-
Note: I added a spoon of honey into half the dough to bind it, coz I thought the dough wasn’t staying together too firmly initially, but it worked fine both ways, with & without honey.
~ There you go Happy Cook, a fresh batch of cookies just for you! ~

About me: I am a freelance food writer, recipe developer and photographer. Food is my passion - baking, cooking, developing recipes, making recipes healthier, using fresh seasonal produce and local products, keeping a check on my carbon footprint and being a responsible foodie! I enjoy food styling, food photography, recipe development and product reviews. I express this through my food photographs which I style and the recipes I blog. My strength lies in 'Doing Food From Scratch'; it must taste as good as it looks, and be healthy too. Baking in India, often my biggest challenge is the non-availability of baking ingredients, and this has now become a platform to get creative on. I enjoy cooking immensely as well.

Oh, wonderful, Deeba! A delicious cookie that’s good for you too. No wonder the hubs is already asking for second batch.
You really warmed my heart with your kind words about my family and me. I am so thankful that we met last year too. And I’m not planning on letting go either. 🙂 Happy Holidays my friend.

Lovely cookies.
I like to sneak in oats in cookies to the family. They just are so good for you and kids are going thru a phase where they don’t want oatmeal, so cookies are the best bet.
Chocolate Shavings
Those cookies would make the perfect holiday gift!

HI Deeba,
I love this healthy oat cookie. It was a pity you could not make them for your~daughter over there in Sydney! A little bear and a cute tin full of these crispy yummies would have made her feel like new again! You must have been so worried about her in a strange country and all! My aunt lived in Sydney for something like 13 years, but is back in South Africa. Sydney is beautiful!
