Stay Awake

Preheat oven to 160°C. Line 2 large baking trays with baking paper.
In a medium bowl beat spread, sugar and vanilla with an electric mixer, until pale and creamy. Add egg and mix until well combined. Sift flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt (if using) into mixture. Add rolled oats. Stir until just combined. Fold in pecans and sultanas.
Roll level tablespoons of dough into 28 balls and place 3cm apart on prepared trays. Flatten slightly.
Bake for 12 minutes, or until biscuits are golden, swapping trays halfway through cooking time. Allow to cool on trays.
