Porridge and date cookies

Method

1. Preheat your oven to 180°C and line two flat baking trays with parchment.

2. Beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Slowly add in the eggs adding a spoon or two of flour as you do, to stop the mixture curdling.

3. Mix the flour and sieved baking powder and add this to the batter. Stir in the leftover porridge then the chopped dates.

4. Spoon about 16 dessert spoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking trays and bake for about 17 minutes until golden. Once cool enough to handle transfer onto a wire rack to cool completely.
