Yummy Sesame Spice Oatmeal Cookies

I made these lovely cookies yesterday for some mummies and babies to eat and they went down very well! The recipe is from an american book "Superimmunity for Kids" by Leo Galland and Dian Dincin Buchman which I recently brought.... after seeing all the recipes in the back I then went and brought some american measuring cups so I could make them easily!
