OATMEAL PECAN COOKIES

I adapted these from a King Arthur recipe. We enjoyed these healthy wheat free cookies. If you double the recipe and use 2 cookie sheets reverse them halfway through baking (top to bottom, bottom to top). Watch for over baking.

Time 24m

Yield 18-20 cookies, 18 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup quick-cooking oatmeal or 1 cup old-fashioned oatmeal
6 tablespoons pecans, coarsely chopped (I used pecan chips)
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4-1/2 teaspoon orange zest (optional)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
3 tablespoons Splenda brown sugar blend or 6 tablespoons light brown sugar
2 tablespoons Splenda granular or 2 tablespoons sugar
1 large egg
1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F; lightly grease a baking sheet.
  • If using old fashioned oats pulse them in a food processor a few times.
  • Combine the oats, nuts, cinnamon, baking powder, salt and orange zest (if using) in a food processor, blender or a medium bowl (if using an immersion blender). Pulse until the nuts are finely chopped and evenly distributed. **You should end up with a fine meal. This is taking the place of flour**.
  • Beat the butter and sugars in a large bowl until smooth.
  • Add the egg, scraping the bowl and beating until smooth.
  • Stir in the vinegar and vanilla, then the oat mixture.
  • Drop the dough by 1/2 tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking sheet. (They don't spread much).
  • Bake cookies for 10-14 minutes until the edges are barely browned.
  • Remove them from the oven and let them cool on baking sheet for about 5 minutes.
  • Transfer to rack or paper bag to cool completely.
  • **Mine turned out as small round puffy soft and slightly chewy cookies**.

2 ¼ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
¾ cup white sugar
¾ cup brown sugar, packed

1 cup chopped pecans
1 cup rolled oats
1 cup sweetened dried cranberries (such as Ocean Spray® Craisins®)
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Sift the flour, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl.
