I'm always on the lookout for natural recipes that don't use refined sugars. My daughter and I made these last night and snuck some this morning. They are good right out of the oven, but taste even better the next day. They have a somewhat cakelike texture and are soft and moist. Enjoy! Ingredients:
2 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1/4 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1 cup butter, softenend |
1 1/4 cups honey |
2 -3 eggs, beaten |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 ounce unsweetened chocolate, melted |
1 1/2 cups rolled oats |
1 cup chopped walnuts (or half of each, optional) (optional) or 1 cup shredded coconut (or half of each) (optional) |
1 cup chocolate chips (or to taste!) |
Directions:
1. Cream together butter and honey.
2. Add beaten eggs, vanilla, and melted chocolate. Mix well.
3. In a separate container, mix together all dry ingredients except the oatmeal, coconut, and nuts. (You may wish to sift the flour.).
4. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
5. Add the coconut, nuts, and chocolate chips.
6. The mixture will probably be a bit more gooey than your standard cookie recipe - don't worry.
7. Place dough in the fridge while you preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
8. Drop by spoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.
9. Bake for about 14 minutes.
10. Let cool and enjoy!
