These chewy cookies are not like Grandma used to make, but are a healthy, wholesome macrobiotic version. Try adding dried cherries, or dark chopped chocolate instead of raisins for a decadent twist.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 13 minutes
Total Time: 23 minutes
Ingredients:
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 3/4 cup whole wheat or spelt pastry flour
- 1/2 cup unsweetened shredded coconut
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
- 1 pinch sea salt
- ½ teaspoon baking soda
- 1/3 cup sesame oil
- ½ cup brown rice syrup
- ½ cup agave nectar
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/3 cup golden raisins
- 1/3 cup dark raisins
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
In a bowl mix the dry ingredients.
In a separate bowl mix well the wet ingredients.
Add the wet ingredients to the dry and mix well.
Let the batter rest for 20 minutes.
The batter will be a little sticky. Drop batter by tablespoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet about 1 ½ inches apart (cookies will spread out as you bake them). Flatten slightly.
Bake at 350 degrees for 13 minutes, until bottom edges turn golden brown in color.
Makes 2 dozen medium sized cookies.
These cookies are better after sitting for a day.
