The cookies are good for us because: The oats contain fibre and give us energy. The brown sugar is more natural than white sugar. The wholemeal flour contains more fibre than white flour. There is not too much sugar or fat in them. And there are no additives and artificial colours in them.

Oaty Crunch Cookies Method 1. Wash hands, Put on an apron and tie long hair back. 2. Ask an adult to help you to preheat the oven at 190°C or Gas Mark Measure 80g of margarine and 50g of brown sugar. Mix these together in a bowl using a wooden spoon until they become creamy and lighter in colour. 4. Measure 50g of oats, 75g of wholemeal flour and your flavouring, add this to the bowl and mix them in. 5. Divide the mixture into 8 equal sized portions mould each one into a ball, place on the baking tray with parchment paper, leaving plenty of space around each one. Flatten them slightly with the palm of your hand. 6. Bake the cookies for 15 minutes or until they are beginning to turn golden. Ask an adult to help you take them out of the oven then leave the cookies on the baking trays until they are cool and firm. This is how we will make them.
