Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 180 °C (160 °C fan) and line a tray with baking paper.
  2. In a bowl, beat the softened butter with the sugar until smooth and creamy.
  3. Add the egg and mix well, then stir in the flour, baking powder, salt and cinnamon.
  4. Add the oats and chocolate chips if using, then quickly knead until you have a uniform dough.
  5. Shape into walnut-sized balls, place them on the tray spaced apart, then flatten them slightly with a fork.
  6. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until the edges are golden. Leave to cool on the tray so they become crisp.

Variations and tips

Version without cinnamon. Replace the cinnamon with ground vanilla for a more neutral taste, ideal for little ones.

Using what's easy to find. Instant oats also work, but they give slightly softer biscuits.
