Snack - Spiced Oat Cookies

I first made these in my second year of university to wrap in foil and take to seminars and lectures with me for when I got peckish. I also found that they make lovely cake bars as well, if you just tip the mixture into a deep sided baking tray instead of spooning it onto baking paper. They are particularly good in the winter months because the spices are nice and warming. The original recipe is from BBC Good Food and can be found here

175g butter
80g demera sugar
50g honey

Spoon 2 tbsp of the mixture for each cookie onto the tray, about 2 inches apart
