Butterscotch Oat Cookies

Method

Preheat oven to 170°C.

Cream the butter and sugars together until pale and creamy.

Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition and stir in the caramel essence.

Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda, cinnamon and salt together.

Fold into the butter mixture and stir in the oats, coconut and caramel chocolate chips.

Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet, 4cm apart and bake for 8–10 minutes or until golden.

Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Drizzle the melted chocolate over the cookies and cool for 15 minutes.
