Oatmeal Cookies

Admittedly looking VERY home made

People at work have been bringing in cookies and loafs so I thought it might be nice for me to bake something. Originally I wanted to make muffins, but didn't find a quick enough recipe that I wanted to make this morning. I ended up with this recipe for "healthy oatmeal cookies" from Everyday Food Light from the Kitchens of Martha Stewart Living. It's another cookbook from the library. I left out the healthy part because I replaced the raisins/ currents with chocolate and caramel chips. Still, with no butter and only 1 egg they are still relatively healthy.

Makes 18-20 cookies

Ingredients:
1/2 cup whole wheat flour
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/3 cup canola oil
2/3 cup packed brown sugar
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 cup large rolled oats
1/2 cup currents or raisins..or chocolate and caramel chips

Directions:
Preheat oven to 350.  Whisk together flours and baking powder. In another bowl, combine egg, oil, brown sugar vanilla extract. Add in flour mixture, oats and raisin/chocolate chips. Using 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie, place on a greased (or lined- see my new silicone baking mat! present from my mom). Bake 15-17 minutes, until lightly browned. Let cool 5 minutes on baking sheet and then transfer to cooling rack.
