How to Make Irish Oaten Biscuits Cookies

  1. Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, combine 1 cup oat bran, 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup granulated sugar, 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, and 1 teaspoon baking soda. Mix well to combine.
  3. Cut in 1 cup (2 sticks) of cold unsalted butter using a pastry blender or your fingers until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
  4. Gradually add 2-4 tablespoons of cold water, 1 tablespoon at a time, mixing lightly until the dough just comes together. Do not overmix.
  5. Turn the dough out onto a lightly floured surface. Gently knead a few times to form a cohesive dough. Roll out to about 1/4 inch thickness.
  6. Use cookie cutters to cut out your desired shapes (clovers, fingers, etc.).
  7. Place cookies onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving a little space between each.
  8. Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the biscuits are crisp.
  9. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
