HAPPY JACK COOKIES RECIPES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. In a small bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and rolled oats. Set aside. In the bowl of an electric mixer combine butter, light brown sugar and superfine sugar. Beat until creamy. Add egg and vanilla, and beat again until smooth.
• Add flour mixture to butter mixture, and beat until smooth. By hand, fold in chopped pecans and M&M's.
• Roll quarter-cup measures of dough into balls and flatten them into fat disks (about 1/2 inch thick). Place on a parchment-lined or greased baking sheet, about 6 at a time, so they have room to spread.
• Bake until cookies are risen, dry on surface and very lightly browned, 15 to 20 minutes. They will be too soft to lift from baking sheet. Set aside to harden for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 180°C/350°F/gas 4. Line a deep 20cm square baking tin with greaseproof paper and rub with olive oil. Pulse the butter, dried fruit and nuts, oats and flour in a food processor until the mix comes together and away from the sides, then pulse in the syrup until fully combined.

  Transfer to the lined tin, flattening to the edges. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until golden. Remove from the oven, slice into 16 squares ready to cut, and leave to cool in the tin for 5 minutes. Use the paper to lift out on to a wire rack, and leave to cool completely. Simple, easy, delicious – spread the word!
