Sourdough Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Recipe Description:

These cookies are chewy and soft plus have much less sugar than traditional cookies and still taste great. Sandwich them with some cream cheese frosting for an extra special treat- Homemade Oatmeal Cream Pies.

Prep Time: 15 Minutes

Cook Time: 15 Minutes

Servings: 2 1/2 dozen

Difficulty: Easy

Recipe Ingredients:

½ C. Sourdough Starter

2/3 C. Melted Butter or Coconut Oil

4 C. Rolled Oats (Thick rolled best as they don't disintegrate all the way. Others will work fine, but you may not be able to see the oats when done.)

¼ C. Whole Wheat Flour

1 t. Cinnamon

1 t. Pure Vanilla Extract

½ t. Unrefined Sea Salt

Recipe Instructions:

Mix together: Sourdough Starter, Melted Butter or Coconut Oil, Rolled Oats, and Whole Wheat Flour. Make sure everything is moistened. You may need to add a little bit more starter or butter. The oats should not clump together and should still look dry, but when you touch them they should feel wet and when you grab a small handful you should be able to press them together and they will stick.

Let this mixture sit 8- 24 hours, the longer the better when it comes to oats.

When ready to bake: Turn oven on to 375 degrees and add to the soaked mixture: Cinnamon, Vanilla, Salt, Nutmeg, Eggs, and Honey. Mix well.

Add: Raisins and Baking Soda.

Mix until just incorporated.

Spoon onto baking stones or cookies sheets, and bake for about 15 - 20 minutes. If you are using a cookie sheet you may want to check after 10 minutes. I use a stone which means a longer baking time but more evenly baked cookies.

When done let sit for a couple minutes then move to a cooling rack to cool. Store in airtight container.

To make Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies just omit the cinnamon, nutmeg and raisins and add 1 cup (or more) chocolate chips.

I just baked a batch of these cookies. Oh my! They are delicious! I ended up with 2 1/2 dozen. There is only 0.17 teaspoon of honey in each one, and they are nicely sweet. Thank you so much for sharing this great recipe!

If mine is too hard, I sometimes let the jar float in a bigger jar full of hot water. 🙂 Glad you enjoyed it!
