Oatmeal cookies



I tasted these a few weeks ago.  You can substitute unsweetened apple sauce instead of the butter if you want less fat.  I wanted to try the 'fat' version first.  They're cooking as we speak.  The original recipe doesn't mention the food processor, but I think it worked just fine.  I'm all for one-bowl operations.  Saves on washing up.


2 sticks butter (1/2 lb)
3/4 cup light brown sugar
3/4 cup demerara can sugar
2 eggs
1 tspn vanilla
1 cup all purpose white flour
1/2 wholewheat flour
1 tspn cinnamon
3 cups oats (can be old fasihoned or quick uncooked)
1 cup raisins

  1. Heat oven to 325farenheit fan forced
  2. Beat together butter and sugar, add eggs and vanilla, beat well in food processor
  3. Add flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, pulse in food processor.
  4. Add oats, again pulse in food processor.
  5. Spoon tablespoon size onto cookie tray.  Cook for 20 minutes.

Makes about 4 dozen.

    And if you wouldn't mind sharing those banana muffins of yours, you would be doing the world a favour!
