Nutty Oatmeal Cookies - Dan Crites

Recipe

< Picture 1 of 1 >
Oatmeal cookie with a very nutty flavor.

Ingredients

  • 0.75 cup butter, softened
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 1 egg
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 0.75 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1.5 cups rolled oats
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 0.5 tsp baking powder
  • 0.5 tsp baking soda
  • 0.25 tsp salt
  • 0.5 cup pecans (hazelnuts or walnuts)
  • 0.25 cup sunflower seeds (optional)
  • 2 tbsp flax seeds (optional)
  • 0.5 cup wheat germ (optional)

Steps

  1. Preheat oven to 375 F
  2. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, then stir in the vanilla and nutmeg.
  3. In a separate bowl, combine the oats, flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, pecans (hazelnuts or walnuts), sunflower seeds, flax seeds and wheat germ. Gradually stir into the creamed mixture. Add extra nuts if not using seeds, extra oatmeal if not using wheat germ.
  4. Drop by rounded spoonfuls, a couple of inches apart, onto greased cookie sheet. Don't flatten.
  5. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
  6. (Make this lower calorie/lower fat by reducing the butter to 1/2 cup and add 1/4 cup "no sugar added" apple sauce. This makes the cookie more moist and cake-ish.)
