Irish Caramel Hobnobs
Homemade version of famous Irish oat Hobnob cookies, dipped in caramel (optional)
Ingredients
- 10 TBSP butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 TBSP milk
- 1 tsp golden syrup or molasses
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1 cup self rising flour
- 1 1/3 cup rolled oats
- Caramel for dipping (I used this one) https://www.bonappetit.com/recipe/caramel-hard-sauce
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
- Cream the butter and sugar until pale and fluffy. Add in the milk, golden syrup/molasses and baking soda until combined, followed by the flour and oats.
- Shape the dough into 20 equal sized balls and place two inches apart on baking sheets. Bake for 25 minutes (cookies will be golden and firm.)
- Once both the cookies and caramel are completely cool, brush or spread the caramel onto a thin layer on the bottoms of the cookies. Leave on a wire rack, bottoms up, until caramel hardens. Scoop off to cool on a wire rack.
