I worked on The Best Peanut Butter-Oatmeal Cookies to lower the fat and increase the healthfulness, They turned out nice - you could eat them for breakfast and not feel guilty. Note: Food process 1-1/4 cups or quick oats to make 1 cup oat flour (ingredient below). Ingredients:
1/4 cup shortening |
1/4 cup butter (softened) |
1/3 cup sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1/2 cup honey |
1 teaspoon vanilla |
1 1/4 cups peanut butter (i like extra chunky) |
1 egg |
1 cup oat flour |
1/2 cup whole wheat flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats |
Directions:
1. 1. In a mixing bowl, add butter, shortening, sugars, honey, and peanut butter. Use the whisk attachment and mix/beat well,.
2. 2. Add egg and vanilla and whip until fluffy.
3. 3. Whisk together wheat flour, oat flour, baking soda, and salt. Add slowly to wet ingredients until just incorporated.
4. 4. Use a spatula and incorporate the quick oats.
5. 5. The dough will be slighly sticky. Refrigerate for an hour to make it handle more easily.
6. 6. Preheat oven to 350°F.
7. 7. Roll into about 30-36 balls and bake for approx 12-15 minutes - they can brown nicely and still not become crispy.
