AUNTIE PAM’S OATMEAL COOKIES

Posted by Carole-Anne on December 26, 2007

Oatmeal and Wheat Germ you say?  Yes! This is an incredibly tasty Healthy Recipe my Auntie passed on to me years ago, and I still make today.  I have made a few slight changes to accomodate the healthiness of the recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

3/4 cup light virgin olive oil

1 1/4 cups dark molasses

2 eggs

2 tsp pure organic vanilla (always use pure vanilla for better taste)

1/2 cup Sun Maid dark raisins

1/2 cup sliced almonds

1 1/2 cup wheat germ

2 cups rolled oats

3/4 cup whole wheat flour (can substitute soya flour)

1 tsp sea salt

1/2 cup powdered milk

NEXT TO DO:

Preheat oven to 350F. 

In a large bowl, add all but the last three ingredients together.

Sift in 3/4 cup whole wheat flour.

Add pinch sea salt and 1/2 cup powdered milk.

Stir all ingredients together until mixture is smooth. 

Cover baking sheet with aluminum foil.

Push mixture from a tablespoon onto the baking sheet.

Bake at 350F for 10 - 12 minutes.   Cookies will spread out on baking.

Remove from oven and let cool before using fry pan flipper to take off of aluminum foil.

When using this Healthy Recipe, you may add more nuts or raisins if you prefer.

These cookies freeze beautifully.

Recipe yields approximately 3 dozen.  Enjoy!

This is one healthy cookie recipe that the whole family can enjoy.
