These classic English "Hobnobish" Oat Cookie Biscuits have been a staple in British households for many years. They are easy to make using simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. They have a distinctive oat flavor and a crisp texture that makes them stand out from regular cookies. They are perfect for a mid-afternoon snack or to pack as a lunchtime treat. These cookies are so good that you will want to make them over and over again!

Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
2.	In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed oats, all-purpose flour, and brown sugar.
3.	Melt the butter in a saucepan over low heat, and then add the baking soda and water.
4.	Gradually mix the melted butter mixture into the dry ingredients in the large mixing bowl until everything is well combined.
5.	Using a tablespoon, form small balls of the dough, rolling them in your palms until smooth.
6.	Place the dough balls on a baking tray lined with parchment paper, making sure to space them apart well.
7.	Sprinkle some coarse sugar on top of each dough ball, and a pinch of coarse sea salt if using.
8.	Bake the cookies in the oven for 12 to 15 minutes, or until golden brown.
9.	Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool before removing them from the baking tray.

HEALTH & BENEFITS

The oats in this recipe are a good source of fiber that helps regulate digestion and reduce cholesterol levels. They are also rich in antioxidants, minerals, and vitamins that support overall health.
Brown sugar contains some nutrients that white sugar does not, but it is still a source of added sugars that should be consumed in moderation.
