Ingredients

  • Make them Gluten-Free! Maker your own gluten-free flour blend, or buy a good quality gluten free flour mix!
  • Make them sugar-free (this is what I do)
  • Play with the spices
  • Use different oils!
  • Play with the nuts or seeds
  • Sneak in as many super healthy ingredients as you can think of. Perfect school snack. Yes, your children will love you even more!
  • Double the batch and send some as gifts. I cannot tell you how often I include them in care packages.
  • They travel well. Take them to work or on the road. They will beat any store bought dessert you might settle for anytime!
  • Ice cream sandwiches. Any good quality ice cream will be fantastic as a “sandwich” filling with these cookies. Mix and match: so much FUN!
  • 2 eggs ( Vegan: substitute 2 tablespoons ground flax seeds mixed with 1/3 cup warm water)
  • ¾ cup vegetable oil
  • ½ cup sugar
  • ¾ cup packed brown sugar or Sucanat
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • 3 cups old-fashioned oats (gluten-free: make sure it is clearly stated on the container)
  • 1 cup flour: all-purpose, whole wheat pastry, spelt, or gluten-free
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1½ teaspoons cinnamon
  • 1½ teaspoons allspice
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • Use flax oil or coconut oil or other nut oil instead of vegetable oil.
  • Use all Sucanat and no white sugar: total 1¼ cups. You can substitute maple sugar or date sugar: It will be delicious but more expensive.
  • No sugar at all? Ha, this sugar watcher can relate. Omit the white sugar and the brown sugar, and use 1 1/4 cups erythritol
  • Throw in 1 cup of unsweetened grated coconut.
  • Throw in ½ cup nuts (pecans, walnuts, hazelnuts, peanuts, etc.) or seeds (sunflower, pumpkin, flax, poppy, chia, hemp, etc.).
  • Throw in ½ cup raisins, or other dry fruit, larger ones chopped.
  • Play with different spices. Cardamom, ginger, nutmeg.
  • Throw in 2 cups best-quality chocolate chips. In this case, lower the sugar in the basic recipe to 1 cup total.
