with this recipe:
1/2 cup shortening (unsalted butter)
1 cup white sugar (mostly organic; I would maybe use less sugar next time)
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk1 1/2 3/4 cups all-purpose buckwheat flour
3/4 cup almond meal (from Trader Joe)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup raisins chocolate chips (half semi-sweet, half
milk chocolate)
1 2/3 cups quick cooking oats
DIRECTIONS:
1. Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).Grease Lay some foil over cookie sheets.
2. In a medium bowl, cream together the shortening and sugar until
smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time, then stir in the milk. Combine
the flour, almond meal, baking soda, salt and cinnamon, gradually stir
into the creamed mixture. Add the raisins chocolate chips and
quick oats; mix until just combined. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto
the prepared cookie sheet.
3. Bake for 8 to 10 12-15 minutes in the preheated
oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before
removing to a wire rack to cool completely.
I'm only sorry I didn't take any pictures before they were, er, gone!
Questions for the Keebler elves in the crowd:
1. Do you think a mixture of half butter and half applesauce would work? Or would it be too "moist"? (Ewwwww.)
2. What about using less sugar? Would that alter the texture a lot?
