Cross-Country Oatmeal Cookies
Description:
This recipe uses oil in place of melted or softened butter. It's a nice compromise between a dense, chewy cookie and a more fluffy one. If you want a more substantial cookie, use old-fashioned oats in place of the quick-cooking kind. You can also use much less sweetener if you are adding dried fruit.
Ingredients:- 3/4 cup grapeseed or other mild-tasting oil
- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- 1 1/2 cups unsifted oat, amaranth or other flour
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 1/2 teaspoons baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
- 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg (opt)
- 1/2 cup coarsely chopped nuts or pumpkin seeds
- 1 cup dried fruit--raisins, figs, apricots, etc
