Re-use a Recipe: Oat and Stem Ginger Cookies / Sweet Oat Biscuits

Has anyone ever had Sweet Oat Biscuits from AMT coffee? They are to die for! Like a hobnob - but not so dusty, more buttery, sweeter, and with a light hint of coconut. Perfect dunked in coffee. Costa's stem ginger cookies are also similarly de-diddly-licious, with gorgeous chewy ginger chunks baked right in. I've searched high and low for a recipe that approximates to these wonderful cookies, but alas, I have yet to find it.

The closest I have come is a slight adaptation of a trusty Anzac biscuits recipe on www.bbcgoodfood.com. This recipe is so versatile that with some minor tweaks, it transforms from Anzac, into a Sweet Oat Biscuit or a Stem Ginger and Oat cookie, with dependable and delicious results.

Oat and Stem Ginger Cookies

Recipe Ingredients
First things first, preheat your oven to 160C (fan). Grease and line 2 baking sheets.
Mix together the oats, stem ginger, ground ginger, flour and sugar in a large bowl. 125g porridge oats
35g stem ginger in syrup, approx 2 balls, chopped finely
10g ground ginger
115g plain flour
100g caster sugar
In a small pan (or in the microwave) melt together the butter and the syrup. Then add the bicarbonate of soda, and the boiling water. Stir. 100g butter , plus extra butter for greasing
1 tbsp golden syrup
1 tsp bicarbonate of soda
2 tbsp boiling water
Add the wet ingredients to the dry in the large bowl, and mix to form a dough.
Split the dough into 10 balls and place them on a greased and lined baking sheet (you'll probably need two).
Bung them in the oven for 10 minutes.
