Oats are a good source of soluble fibre and many nutrients and thereby I try to include Oats in our daily meals. Store bought Oatmeal cookies are way too sweet for me, so I thought of making some Home- made cookies for the Holiday season. I threw a hand ful of dried cranberries which were long forgotten in my pantry.
Alright, now for the recipe you will need.
Regular Rolled Oats (coarsely ground) : 1.5 cups
All purpose flour : 0.5 cup
Dried Cranberries : 0.5 cup
Flax seed meal : 2 tbsp
Butter (in room temperature) : 1/4 cup
Sugar : 1/2 cup or less(I used 1/4 cup + 1 tbsp)
Salt : 1 pinch
Baking powder : 1/4 tsp
Baking soda : 1/2 tsp
Orange juice : 2 tbsp
Vanilla extract : 1/4 tsp
Egg White : 1 egg white
Milk : a few tsps
Method:
Preheat oven to 350F for 15 minutes. Cream together the Butter and sugar until well incorporated. Beat in the vanilla, orange juice, milk, egg white. Add flour, flax seed meal, oats, Cranberries, Baking pwd, baking soda, salt and mix well. Spoon tablespoons of cookie dough on greased cookie sheets and flatten it with fingers. Keep 1 -2 inch gap between each cookie. Bake for 20-25 minutes or untill done. Keep a eye on the oven while baking.The house smells so delicious that I felt I was inside a giant Cookie!
Verdict:
Crispy on the outside, soft 'n' chewy on the inside. And the best part is when you start eating, you can't really stop. You want more n more of it and thats one good reason for never being able to stop how much you eat!!
Cookie fanatic!!
