Ingredients

125 g (4oz) butter, softened, plus extra to grease
75 g (3oz) light muscovado sugar
1 medium egg
150 g (5oz) rolled oats
50 g (2oz) self-raising flour, plus extra to dust
1/4 level tsp baking powder
Finely grated zest of 1 lemon
50 g (2oz) sultanas
1 Tbsp. maple syrup

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat the oven to 190°C (170°C fan) mark 5. Lightly grease two baking sheets with softened butter.
2. Step 2
  In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar with an electric hand whisk until pale and fluffy. Beat in the egg until combined, then use a wooden spoon to stir in the oats, flour, baking powder, lemon zest, sultanas and maple syrup.
3. Step 3
  Dust a work surface with a little flour, then take pieces of the mixture and roll into 12 even-sized balls. Put them on the greased baking sheets, spaced well apart. If making ahead, don't put the cookies on the baking sheets. Instead, put into a freeze-proof container lined with greaseproof paper. Seal and freeze for up to one month.
4. Step 4
  Bake for 12-15min until golden. Leave to cool on the sheet for 5min, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. If serving from frozen, put the cookies on baking sheets and bake from frozen for 20-25min.
