Cookies!

Today I was experimenting with an older recipe of mine and after all was said and done, they turned out quite well. I replaced the white flour with almond flour and oat flour and replaced the sugars with coconut sugar and cane sugar.

So the recipe I used today is as follows:

Crackerjack Cookies

1 cup of butter

1 cup of cane sugar (to replace the white)

1 cup of coconut sugar (to replace the brown)

2 eggs

2 teaspoons of vanilla

1 cup of almond flour

2 ½ cups of oat flour (simply oat flakes ground in my Vitamix)

1 teaspoon of baking soda

2 cups of oats

2 cups of rice crispies

Drop by spoonfuls onto a cookie sheet (I lined mine with parchment paper) and press down slightly.

Bake for 10-11 minutes in a 325* oven. My cookies looked quite underdone when I took them out but they finished their baking while cooling on the cookie sheet. This made 50 good sized cookies.

A few notes about what happened today:

• I think I only needed ¾ cup of butter, rather than a whole cup but I'll play with that next time
• If I had used less butter, I would have needed less flour
• Because almond flour isn't a very dry flour, it took a lot more oat flour to reduce the wetness of the dough
• I also could probably cut the amount of sugar down as well, but I didn't want to experiment with too many variables at the same time
