OATMEAL, WALNUT AND DRIED PLUM COOKIES
Recipe from The Kind Diet by Alicia Silverstone My friend Kristina Brindley is a wonderful vegan caterer who does home delivery. Her vittles are so delicious, I order from her almost every week. I think it's safe to say she is quite possibly the greatest dessert-maker to ever walk the earth-her desserts are insane! I'm not usually a big fan of oatmeal cookies, but I'm obsessed with these. (My mom, an oatmeal cookie connoisseur, just can't get enough.)

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Combine the oats, flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a large bowl. In a separate bowl, combine the syrup, oil, vanilla extract, and molasses. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, and stir to combine. Fold in the dried plums and nuts.
- Using your hands, roll tablespoon-size scoops of dough into balls. Place the balls onto the prepared baking sheet and press down slightly on the balls to flatten the tops. Bake for 8 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Transfer cookies to a baking rack to cool completely.
- For variety, replace the all-purpose flour with whole wheat pastry flour, barley flour, spelt flour, or a gluten-free baking mix (choose one that does not include baking soda and baking powder). You can also substitute chocolate chips for the dried fruit and any kind of nuts for the walnuts.

OATMEAL DRIED FRUIT COOKIES
These are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit.

HEALTHY OATMEAL DATE WALNUT COOKIES
This is a variation of a cookie recipe I love, just to give credit where credit is due... The Kind Diet's Oatmeal, Walnut and Dried Plum cookies. They are delicious but a lot of sugar so I tried another version and I think they are just as yummy!

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. (or 325 convection oven). Line 3 cookies sheets with parchment paper.
- Mix all dry ingredients.
- Wisk together wet ingredients.
- Fold in dry to wet and stir until moist. If batter is too dry add a little more applesauce.
- Use small ice cream scoop to make cookies.
- Bake 15 minutes.
- Transfer to baking rack and cool.
- I throw them into a ziploc bag and just grab 2 out of the freezer whenever the mood hits me. I use them for the kids lunches too and they love them!
- VARIATION: I basically make the same recipe but with dairy free chocolate chips instead of walnuts and omit molasses and maple syrup. We live on those! I love stocking up the freezer on Sundays. :).
Tips:
- Use ripe, dried plums. This will ensure that your cookies are moist and flavorful.
- Toast the walnuts. This will bring out their flavor and make them more fragrant.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Conclusion:
Oatmeal, walnut, and dried plum cookies are a delicious and healthy snack. They are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. They are also a great way to use up leftover oatmeal and dried plums. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
