So I promised a friend I'd share this recipe, and this seems like an excellent place to do it. It's a variant on oatmeal cookies that has gotten progressively more unique as I've experimented with it over the years, and that at this point is pretty much my own. Feel free to alter it further, in whatever way speaks to you!
Ingredients:
14 Tbsp butter (1 3/4 sticks)
2/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1/2 cup applesauce (this takes the place of eggs)
1 tsp vanilla
1 cup flour
1/2 cup almond meal
1 tsp baking soda
3/4 tsp salt
3 cups rolled oats
10 oz chocolate chips
cinnamon to taste
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
The process is pretty straightforward (in that it works like every other cookie in the world): cream together butter & sugars; add vanilla & applesauce then mix until smooth; mix in flour, almond meal, baking soda, and salt; add cinnamon, coconut, and oats, then mix in walnuts and chocolate chips at the very end. Drop on cookie sheet.
Bake at 365 degrees for approx 12 minutes.
Note: There really aren't any eggs in here. If you feel compelled to add them, switch them in for the applesauce. Also, you can easily make this gluten free by substituting almond meal for the flour, I just don't do it because it makes the cookies a little crumbly for my taste. Enjoy!
