Cowgirl Cookies

These cookies started as a vegan variation of Quaker's "Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies" recipe. I was feeling lazy and wanted to make something quick and sugar packed but then realized that I'd probably be eating them for breakfast too (which I'm doing this very second). Upon this realization, I opted for a few healthy options. I substituted normal flour for home-ground organic oat flour, added a few secret diced prunes in with the raisins, and added some nuts for protein. Who says you can't have cookies for breakfast?


1/2 cup canola oil
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 1/2 cup oat flour
3 cups oats
1/2 cup dried raisins
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1/4 cup walnuts
2 tbsp soy milk
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
*"eggs"


-Preheat oven to 350
- To make "eggs," combine 2 tsp ground flax seed and 2 tbsp boiling water in small dish and whisk together until it reaches an egg-like consistency.
- In large bowl, combine oil, sugar, "eggs", and the vanilla.
- Gradually add in the dry ingredients and then add in the nuts, chips, and raisins.
- Drop rounded tablespoonfuls on a lightly greased cookie sheet.
- Bake 8-10 minutes
