MARI'S HOMEMADE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and both the brown and granulated sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Then add the oatmeal, pecans and coconut.
• Using an ice cream scooper, drop some of the dough on an ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies turn a light brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 350°F.
• 2. In a large bowl, mix together oil, sugars, egg, applesauce, and vanilla extract. Beat on medium-high about 3 minutes - break up any brown sugar lumps.

• 4. Fold in chocolate chips, coconut, and pecans (dough will be slightly loose).
• 5. Spoon heaping tablespoons of dough onto lined cookie sheets about 2" apart.
• 6. Bake at 350°F for 11 - 12 minutes, or until they're browned around edges.
• 7. Let cookies cool on pans for three minutes, and then move to wire rack to cool completely.
• NOTES:.
• I use Bob's Red Mill 1:1 Gluten Free Baking Flour with great success. I also use Bob's Red Mill gluten free oats but Quaker gluten free oats work equally well.
• NOTES: Applesauce adds needed moisture and "chewy" mouth feel to gluten free cookies, and you wont taste the applesauce.
• NOTES: I use unsweetened coconut but if all you have is sweetened coconut then use that (same portion) but decrease granulated sugar in recipe by about 1 tablespoon.

OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the oil and sugar. Gradually beat in the egg, along with the reserved water from the raisins, the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt into the bowl, then add the oats. Finally, mix in the raisins.
• Drop heaped tbsps of the cookie dough onto the baking trays, well spaced apart as they will spread when cooking. Bake for 12-15 mins until golden. Leave to cool on the trays for 10 mins before tucking in, or transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
