Inspired by: BBC books' “101 Cakes and Bakes”.

This is an English confection created for the Book Club meeting.

Ingredients make about 25 cookies.

This recipe contains the following types of ingredient: dairy and honey; plants and fungi.

100 g

goji berries

100 g

Fairtrade sultanas

50 ml

Madeira or Fairtrade orange juice

250 g

butter

75 g

FAIRTRADE caster sugar

75 g

FAIRTRADE muscavado sugar

150 g

self-raising flour

225 g

porridge oats

Mix the goji berries with the sultanas and add the madeira. Set aside for a couple of hours.

Pre-heat the oven to gas mark 4 (180 °C; 350 °F).

Line a couple of baking trays with non-stick baking parchment.

Beat together the butter and the sugars, and then mix in the flour and the porridge oats.

Once they are well combined, tip in the fruit and turn to make an even mixture.

Divide the mixture into 25 equal portions, and make each portion into a sphere.

Put the spheres on the baking trays, well-spaced, and just flatten a little with your fingers.

Bake in the oven for 20 - 30 minutes or until the edges are golden brown and the centre still soft to the touch.

Cool for 5 minutes on the tray and then transfer the cookies to a wire rack to finish off.
