I was craving oatmeal raisin cookies one day and couldn't find a recipe that I liked so I came up this one: a nice hearty cookie that isn't too high in fat or sugar and is made with whole grains. Ingredients:
3/4 cup white whole wheat flour (sub a quarter unbleached all purpose for a lighter cookie) |
3/4 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 tablespoon cinnamon |
1 dash nutmeg (optional, but gives more oomph) (optional) |
1 dash salt (optional) |
1/2 cup non-hydrogenated margarine, softened (earth balance) |
1/2 cup brown sugar, packed |
1/8 cup raw sugar |
3/4 tablespoon pure vanilla extract |
1 1/2 teaspoons ener-g egg substitute (1 1/2 teaspoon ener-g plus 2 tablespoons warm water) |
1 1/4 cups organic old fashioned oats (instant works alright too) |
1/2 cup raisins |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350.
2. In a mixing bowl, sift together the first set of ingredients.
3. In another bowl, cream together the margarine and sugars, then add vanilla and egg replacer.
4. Add the sugar mix to the flour mix and stir well.
5. Fold in the oats and raisins until combined. This batter will seem dry, but trust me, it's fine.
6. Drop small spoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
