These are some cookies that I made for my SIL when she was having issues with fibre in her diet. She was encouraged to have oatmeal and so I tried to find her a good oatmeal cookie. This was attempt number two. This recipe is adapted from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. I have included two versions of a great cookie. When I make the cowboy cookies, I make them BIG. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 egg, slightly beaten |
1 cup sugar |
1/2 cup shortening, melted (can use butter) |
1 tablespoon molasses |
1/4 cup milk |
1 3/4 cups oatmeal, uncooked |
1/2 cup raisins |
3/4 cup sweetened coconut, flaked (reduce oatmeal by 1/4 cup) or 3/4 cup sweetened coconut, shredded (reduce oatmeal by 1/4 cup) |
1/2 cup chocolate chips |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. To make Simple Oatmeal Cookies: Mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl.
3. Stir in the remaining ingredients.
4. Arrange by teaspoonfuls on unbuttered cookie sheets. Leave about 1 inch in between. They do spread a wee bit. Not too much though.
5. Bake until the edges are brown, about 10-12 minutes.
6. For Cowboy Cookies: Add in coconut and chocolate chips when you add in the rest of the ingredients (Step 3). Drop them by the FULL tablespoon on a cookie sheet. (Might have to squish them a bit) Bake for 14-17 minutes or until mostly brown.
