Honey Oatmeal Cookies


I confess I changed the name of these cookies. The original recipe is Healthy Oatmeal Cookies (with Honey) If you'll refer to a time that I ranted about the use of the word 'healthy' in recipes you'll know why. They contain no butter or margarine and are sweetened with honey-no refined sugar.


bla bla bla

Make them because they are easy and yummy.

1 cup whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cups of oats (rolled is better, instant will do)
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 dash cinnamon or more...or none at all
1 dash nutmeg or not

1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup canola oil or olive oil or vegetable oil or corn oil
(feel free to replace some of the oil with plain yogurt or applesauce)
1 egg beaten with 1 Tbsp Water
1 tsp vanilla

1/2 cup raisins or craisins
1/2 cup chocolate chips
-or use 1 cup chocolate chips, or all raisins or some nuts, basically 1 cup of 'stuff'

In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together, add all the wet stuff and the raisins and chocolate chips and stir. If the mixture seems a bit too wet, add a little bit more flour. Cool the dough in the fridge for 20 minutes.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a 325F oven for about 15 - 20 minutes.
