Make the oat biscuits
  1. Next, using your hands take small amounts of biscuit dough (about the size of a ping pong ball) and roll them together to form balls. We needed to press them together quite firmly to stop them crumbling apart.
  2. Pop the biscuits on your baking trays and press them down slightly.
Bake the oatmeal cookies
  1. Bake the oaty biscuits in the oven for 10-15 minutes. They're ready when they've started to turn a nice golden brown colour.
  2. Remove them from the oven and leave them on the baking trays for a few minutes to cool slightly, before popping them on a wire rack to cool completely.
  3. Serve and enjoy.
