In a separate bowl, combine rolled oats, plain flour, salt, and bicarbonate of soda.
Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined.
Place spoonfuls of the dough onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them evenly.
Bake for 15 minutes, or until the cookies are golden brown.
Allow the cookies to cool on the tray for a few minutes before transferring to a cooling rack.
