These are my absolute favourite cookies. The only thing I don't like about them is how fast they disappear! I have listed the original recipe but I usually change it up a bit. I like to use whole-wheat flour, reduce the sugar to 1/2 cup white and 1/2 cup brown. I like to add ground flaxseed, nuts and/or sunflower seeds. And I always use craisins (dried, sweetened cranberries) instead of raisins or chocolate. Mmmm... delicious and nutritious. Ingredients:
1 cup butter or 1 cup margarine |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup brown sugar |
1 egg |
1 cup flour |
1 cup oatmeal |
1/4 cup wheat germ |
3/4 cup coconut |
1 teaspoon baking powder |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 cups raisins or 1 1/2 cups chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Cream together sugar, butter, brown sugar and egg.
2. Add flour, oatmeal, wheat germ, coconut, baking powder, and baking soda and mix well.
3. Add raisins or chocolate chips.
4. Drop dough by the tsp full onto lightly greased cookie sheet.
5. Flatten with a floured fork.
6. Bake at 350 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes.
