oatmeal rasin basics

This is a good, solid oatmeal rasin cookie recipe. Great on it's own, or with embellishments such as chocolate chips, slivered almonds, dried cranberries, shredded coconut, etc.

dry ingredients:
  • 1 1/2 cup whole wheat flour
  • 1 cup rolled oats
  • 4 tsp corn starch or arrowroot powder
  • 1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. cinnamon

wet ingredients:

  • 1/3 cup canola oil
  • 1/2 cup soy milk or water
  • 3/4 cup organic cane sugar
  • 1 tsp. vanilla

extra:

  • 3/4 cup rasins

method:

Preheat oven to 350 deg.

In a medium sized bowl, combine dry ingredients.

In a large bowl, combine wet ingredients.

Pour dry ingredients into wet, mix thoroughly. Add rasins and any other extras.

Drop large spoonfuls onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.

For fairly thick cookies, about 1/2" thick, bake 14 - 15 minutes. Smaller cookies = less time. You want the edges to look a bit golden

Cool on wire rack.
