Healthy Crispy Oatmeal Cookies image

Its been ages since I made cookies. I usually sample what I make and hubby eats the rest :) I usually make them crispy since those are his favourites. These ones are loaded with healthy goodies.

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 c earth balance margarine
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/3 c coconut sugar (or plain white sugar)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp sea salt
1 large organic egg (at room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c spelt flour (or all purpose)
3/4 c rolled oats
1/4 c flax seed meal
1/4 c wheat germ
2-oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 c dried cranberries or currants
1/4 c chopped hazelnuts or walnuts, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 350'F
  • 2. Using a large electric mixer, add the earth balance to the bowl and on medium high mix for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, coconut or plain sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Beat until combined scraping the bowl as you go.
  • 3. Beat in the egg, vanilla until combined. Beat in the flour, and stir in the rolled oats, flax seed meal, wheat germ, chocolate, cranberries and walnuts. The dough will be sticky and thick.
  • 4. Drop by teaspoons onto an "UNGREASED" cookie sheet. I have a gold coloured one. It's very heavy but works like a charm as nothing sticks to it. Space the cookies 2" apart, they spread.
  • 5. Bake for 9-11 minutes (I did mine for 10). They should be lightly browned on the top. Let the cookies cool for a minute then transfer to a wire rack. Makes around 3 dozen crispy cookies. Enjoy!

I'm not a big fan of oatmeal cookies, but these were actually really good! They were crispy and chewy, and the oats gave them a great texture.

These cookies were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still good. I think I'll try using less sugar next time.

I wasn't a big fan of these cookies. They were too dry and crumbly for my taste.

These cookies were a little too crispy for my taste, but they still had a good flavor. I think I'll try baking them for a shorter amount of time next time.

I love that these cookies are made with healthy ingredients, but they still taste delicious. The oats give them a great texture and the honey adds a touch of sweetness.

These cookies were so easy to make and they turned out perfectly! I used gluten-free oats and they still came out great. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've tried many oatmeal cookie recipes, but this one is by far the best. The cookies are crispy, chewy, and packed with flavor. I especially love the addition of the dried cranberries and nuts.

These oatmeal cookies were a hit! They were crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a perfect balance of sweetness and oats. I loved that they were made with healthy ingredients, too. I'll definitely be making these again!
