I want to make a version of the fruit and oat cookies that you get in M&S bakery?

Question

You know the ones - they are square and contain dried cranberries and oats. Bit chewy in the middle, not dry and crunchy. My friend loves them but lives far from M&S so I'd like to be able to make them.

Can anyone give me a recipe to try?

Answer 1

1/4 cups quick or old-fashioned rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
6 tbsp butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 egg whites
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp finely grated orange peel
3/4 cup dried cranberries

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line two cookie sheets with parchment paper.
Place oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt in a bowl; stir with a whisk.
In a large bowl, beat butter and sugar until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in egg whites, vanilla extract and orange peel. Gradually add flour and oats mixture, stir with a wooden spoon until blended. Fold in cranberries. Drop dough by rounded tablespoons on to cookie sheets, about 2 inches apart.
Bake for 10-12 minutes or until edges are golden. Cool on cookie sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
