A couple of weeks ago I seriously botched a batch of coconut oil frosting. I mean major. I didn't even know how to start salvaging it but I totally hated to throw it away! I figured it was just coconut oil and powdered sugar and maple syrup anyway, so why not just add an egg, some flour and oatmeal and a bit of baking soda and make coconut oil oatmeal cookies? I found this recipe and used it as a very very very loose guide (considering that I had no idea how much coconut oil or sugar was in there...ah the joys of not measuring). And it worked. And the cookies were so good, that I decided to try them again, but for real this time. With a real recipe. And they are still yum!
Whole Wheat Coconut Oil Raisinet Cookies
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/2 cup coconut oil
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup loosely packed brown sugar
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups white whole wheat flour
1 1/4 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 cups quick cooking oatmeal
1 1/4 cups old fashioned oatmeal
1 1/2 cups Raisinets, or other chocolate covered raisins
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large bowl, cream together the butter, coconut oil, sugar, and brown sugar until smooth. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat for about 2 minutes, or until very light and fluffy. Add the flour, baking soda, salt, quick oats, and old fashioned oats, and beat until almost combined. Beat in the chocolate covered raisins until evenly distributed.
Scoop the dough into tablespoon size balls and place on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 9 minutes, or until very lightly browned at the edges. Remove cookies from the oven and let cool on the pan for several minutes before transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely. Makes about 5 dozen cookies.
Enjoy! -Cardamommy
