Baking with the twitterer: Healthy Oatmeal Cookies!

Ingredients:

Dry ingredients

• 1 cup whole wheat flour (a pinch more depending on the moisture of the mix)
• 1 1/2 cups of Rolled Oats
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 Tbsp Cinnamon
  
• 1/2 tsp Nutmeg (optional)

Wet ingredients

• 1/2 cup honey
• 1/2 cup olive oil or Smart Balance Oil
  
• 1 Tablespoon Molasses
• 1 egg (beat with 1 Tbsp Water)
• 1 tsp Vanilla

Additional ingredients

• 1/2 cup raisins
  
• 1/2 cup walnuts
  

Prep:

1. In a large bowl, mix all the dry ingredients together.
2. In a medium bowl, mix all the wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring out the honey, spray the measuring cup with oil or baking spray--your honey won't stick).
3. Mix the wet stuff with the dry stuff. Add the raisins and walnuts and mix. If the mixture seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together very well, you can add an egg white.
4. COOL the mix for 20 minutes in the ref.
5. Preheat the oven to 330 degrees (lower temperature due to the honey in the recipe which will burn more easily).
6. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto your baking sheet (It is recommend to line the baking sheet with parchment paper). Press down with a fork to ensure even cooking.
7. Bake for about 17 - 22 minutes or until golden on the bottom of the cookie. The cookies freeze very well and make a great snack!
