Makes 24
Ingredients
200g butter, softened
150g caster sugar
1 egg
1/4 tsp vanilla essence
250g self-raising flour
50g oats
12 glace cherries, halved
Method
Heat the oven to 190C/170C fan/Gas 5 and line two baking trays with baking paper. Tip the butter, sugar, egg, vanilla and flour into a bowl with a small pinch of salt and beat everything together until completely mixed to a dough.
Tip the oats into a shallow dish. Divide the dough into 24 equal pieces, then roll each piece into a ball. Roll the balls in the oats and put 12 on each tray, evenly spaced. Flatten each ball down a little then press a cherry half into the middle.
Bake the biscuits for 20 minutes until golden. Leave to cool on the tray for a few mins then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
