The Cookies, Sugar-Free, Version 2

A long time ago, after mammoths but Groucho Marx, I concocted a sugar-free cookie recipe and shared it with you all. Now, as part of the bakery remit of the Quirky Muffin - the blog that time forgot - I present version two! Please be aware that nuts, seeds, and whatever else are included in the mix, and that I take no responsibility for any incidents inspired by mention of the woolly mammoth.

Experimental Cookies
(Adapted from 'Chunky Choc Cookies', page 215 of Hamlyn's 'The Student Cookbook', ISBN 9780600609650)

Overloaded with goodness! Makes a large number.

250g (8 ounces) oats
250g (8 ounces) plain flour
6 tablespoons of sunflower seeds
6 tablespoons of sesame seeds
6 tablespoons of chopped almonds
4-6 tablespoons of raisins (to preference)
150g (6 ounces) of butter (or whatever (I use Clover))
100g (3.5 ounces) of set honey
9 tablespoons of vegetable oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten

1 - Heat the oven to 180C, 350F, Gas Mark 4. Prepare a baking tray with some greaseproof/baking paper.
2 - Mix together the oats, flour, sesame and sunflower seeds, almonds and raisins in a big bowl.
3 - Melt the butter and honey in a saucepan, and add the result to the dry ingredients. Then, mix in the eggs and oil until it's all combined.
4 - Put spoonfuls of mixture on the baking tray, spacing them slightly apart. Squish them with the back of the spoon so that they're flat.
5 - Bake in the oven for about fifteen minutes, until they start to brown around the edges. Then leave to cool on a plate and practice meditation in order to not just guzzle them all while they're still warm.
6 - Wait.
