14 Comments

These crumbly creatures are the perfect combination of coconut, oats and chocolate.

Mice-shaped oats biscuits.
You will need
  • 270g caster sugar
  • 175g unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large free range eggs
  • 200g plain flour
  • 50g smooth peanut butter
  • 1tsp vanilla extract
  • 1tsp bicarbonate of soda
  • 220g oats
  • 150g milk chocolate
  • 200g desiccated coconut
  • 100g flaked almonds

METHOD FOR THE COOKIES

  • Pre-heat the oven to 180C and line a baking sheet with grease-proof paper. 

  • Place the sugar, butter, eggs, flour, peanut butter, vanilla extract, bicarbonate of soda, and oats into a food mixer with a paddle attachment and bring to a firm mixture. 

  • Carefully take balls of the mix, shape into mice and place onto the lined baking sheet. Remember to leave space in between, as they will spread and grow when cooking. 

  • Cook in the oven for 10-12 minutes, depending on the size of your mice. 

TO DECORATE

  • Once the mice have been removed from the oven and have cooled, you can decorate them. 

  • Dip the bottom end of the mouse into the melted milk chocolate and roll in desiccated coconut. Place on a wire rack. 

  • Dip a cocktail stick into the melted milk chocolate and dot on the mice's eyes. Make two small knife holes in the biscuit and push the almonds in the head for ears.
