National Oatmeal Cookie Day!! Yum!! Healthy Oatmeal Cookies (with Honey) Ingredients: Dry ingredients 1 cup whole wheat flour (a pinch more depending on the moisture of the mix) 1 1/2 cups of old fashioned rolled oats (quick cooking is ok too- do not use instant) 1/2 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 to 3 teaspoons cinnamon 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg (optional) Wet ingredients 1/2 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 full flavor molasses 1 large egg (beat with 1 tablespoon water) 1 to 3 teaspoons vanilla extract Yummy ingredients 1/2 cup raisins (1 cup for my dads batch) 1/2 cup walnuts, toasted and chopped (more for my dads)!! Preparation: In a medium bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together. In a large bowl, beat egg with water. Now add the remaining wet ingredients to bowl and mix together. Tip: When measuring out the honey, measure the oil first then use the same cup for the honey. Your honey wont stick to the cup. Or spray the measuring cup with cooking oil spray if youre not using oil. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isnt binding together very well, you may wish to add an egg white. Cool the mix for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Preheat the oven to 335 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto the baking sheet. Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie. Place cookies on rack to cool for 5 minutes. The cookies freeze very well and make a great snack! Enjoy. Makes about 35 cookies.
