I recently placed an order with King Arthur Flour and when my order arrived, I received this recipe card. Given kids' affinity for cookies, you might as well temper them with some of the good stuff - in this case, oats with their soluble fiber and whole wheat flour with its extra vitamins, minerals and brand. Trust us: the kids won't know they're getting anything healthy in their favorite snack. Ingredients:
1/2 cup unsalted butter |
1/2 cup vegetable shortening |
1 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
3/4 teaspoon salt |
1 tablespoon cider (or white vinegar) |
1 large egg |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 3/4 cups white whole wheat flour, king arthur brand recommended |
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats |
3 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips (or a mixture of your favorite chips, nuts and dried fruit) |
Directions:
1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease (or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
2. In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter, shortening, sugars, vanilla, salt and vinegar. Beat in the egg, then the baking soda, flour and oats. Stir in the chips/nuts/fruit.
3. Drop the dough, by tablespoonfuls, onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes, until they're golden brown; the shorter amount of time for softer cookies, the longer amount for crunchier cookies. Remove the cookies from the oven and cool on a rack.
