I have taken my Grandma’s delicious oatmeal cookies and made a few subtle modifications such as changing sugar type and lowering content of sugar to make some “healthier” cookies my whole family enjoys.

Crispy on the outside, buttery and rich inside!
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (113 g.) butter
- 1/4-1/2 cup (55-115 g.) of coconut sugar (I use 1/4 but adjust for your preferred sweetness level)
- 1tsp. vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 cup (120 g.) sifted finely ground, whole wheat flour (or a 50-50 blend of flour)
- 1/2 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 3/4 cups (68 g.) oats
- 1/2 cup (85 g.) chopped walnuts
- 1/2 cup raisins (83 g.) or chocolate pieces (I use a 70% organic dark chocolate bar and break into small pieces)
- If you are using raisins add 1/4 tsp of cinnamon
Instructions
- Blend together softened butter with coconut sugar (use organic ingredients as much as possible), let it sit for a few minutes to dissolve the coconut sugar which is coarser then white sugar (if you want you can put coconut sugar in the food processor and make a finer grind before using in the recipe)
- Add the vanilla and the egg to the creamed mixture.
- Sift the flour, baking soda and salt then add to the creamed mixture.
- Lastly add the oatmeal stir through then your choice of raisins, nuts and or chocolate
- Drop by spoonful onto prepared baking sheet, bake at 350 C (180 F) for 10-12 minutes should still look slightly undercooked, leave to cool on the pan as they should be too soft to remove without being cooked.
Modify as desired and enjoy!
