Heathy Cookies

Just because I've been craving something sweet and carby....

Ingredients:


Dry ingredients

1 cup whole wheat flour (a pinch more depending on the moisture of the mix)

1 1/2 cups of Large Flake Rolled Oats (smaller flake is ok too)

1/2 tsp baking soda

1/2 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp salt

1 Tbsp Cinnamon (can use about 3 Tbsp--got to love cinnamon)

1/2 tsp Nutmeg (optional)

Wet ingredients

1/3 cup honey

1/2 cup oil (corn, grapeseed or olive) * you can also use some applesauce to replace some of the oil if you wish

1 Tablespoon Molasses

1 egg (beat with 1 Tbsp Water)

1 tsp Vanilla

Preparation:

In a large bowl, mix all the dry 1. ingredients together.

In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring

out the honey, spray the measuring cup with oil or baking spray--your honey

won't stick).

2. Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the

mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well,

you may wish to add an egg white.

3. COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the fridge.

4. Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the

recipe which will burn more easily).

5. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (I recommend lining the baking

sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.

6. Bake for about 15 - 20 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie. The

cookies freeze very well and make a great snack! Enjoy.
