![]() Would I make ’em again? U bet!!!! 4 a healthier cookie (not sure how healthy they r with all the sugar? But I’m a sugar girl, so in it went as directed, no more & no less), I love this. This mushier texture has held its own a total of ~8hrs now, sitting out uncovered (as I want them a lil bit harder). The texture tastes as it looks in the pics here, oatmeal cookie texture. BUT not as mushy as the Blondies from the CCK collection, definitely cookie texture. Texture: more mushy texture, not as crisp as a flour cookie. I did make exactly as noted except added VaNiLLA! ALWAYS gotta add that 4 cookies or-4 me–any sweets! I LOVE VANILLA as much as Katie loves chocolate! ![]() Not sure if it’s because I blended really well? I mixed in the Vitamix. I don’t think mine tasted too oatmealy, although that taste & texture was slightly evident. I wasn’t clear on how much the yield of this recipe was (SEE BELOW) and I soon found out…. It has simple enough ingredients ans seemed easy 2 make. But I was intrigued with the flourless… so I was excited about making this. the reg recipe on back of the chocolate chip package SANS eggs (using flax/water 4 egg replacer) and I love them. I’ll jump 2 the point, I love chocolate chip cookies & have been making them w. Although these are healthy, they definitely are not lacking in calories! Since we have to do this intense iron ‘therapy’ for 3 months…this will make it a bit easier. I have also used your peanut butter cookie recipe to hide iron and your oatmeal raisin. The cookies turn out black because the iron gets very dark, but the cookies still taste great. I use xylitol and stevia instead of sugar and I have also subbed straight molasses for the brown sugar (like 1/2 tsp molasses) to cut the sugar as much as possible since he has to eat these pretty regularly. So for this recipe, I empty 10 iron capsules into the dry ingredients before adding the wet and I use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough (10 cookies with my scoop) so that the doses are equally distributed throughout the batch. Since iron is not denatured with heat, it works. So I started opening the caspules and hiding them in your cookies. Trying to convince a 5 year old to take all this iron is not easy. They are horse pills and he has to take 4 a day to get what he needs…*sigh*. ![]() Elemental iron makes him sick to his stomach so I now get the food based iron…raw iron. ![]() So he is currently on 90 mg a day or iron. He was quite deficient the last time he was tested despite the iron supplement I was already giving him, cooking in a cast iron pan, etc. One of my sons has a lot of trouble with iron. Thought you might be interested…one of the main reasons I have been making your recipes is to sneak certain things into my kids’ diet. Deciding now whether I should try to make another one of your recipes or block your site. Those were good too but so filling I could only eat 1.5. The one I haven’t told I tried yet were the blueberry oatmeal pancakes, but I subbed bananas instead of blueberry. So since my introduction to your site (10/20) which lead me to make your deep dish cookie pie (which now I’m craving) I have made 3 of your recipes. All were great but hubby is in love with the Sessame seed ones. Some regular with chocolate chip, some with raisins, some with peanutbutter and chocolate chips, some with get ready for this sessame seeds, and some with sessame seed and CocoChia (combo mix of coconut and chia seeds). He literally pulled out the ingredients and the food processor so when I got home I could get to work. first time doubled the recipe, second time 4x the recipe, last night 8x recipe. Ok Katie this relationship of ours needs to stop. Thanks Katie so much for another great recipe. Don’t get me wrong they tasted great but next time I think I’ll replace chocolate chips with raisins for a traditional oatmeal raisin cookie. They tasted like Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies. Mine took about 8 min to cook because I guess the size. The cookies do spread, I would say twice their size, so allot for space between each. Maybe you all know to do that but this is new to me. Also, my coconut oil is solid so melted a small amount in the microwave to get it liquid. For those who need literal steps like me, then yes you have to form these cookies into a ball then flatten a little to look like a cookie. Outcome….delicious!!!!!!! Only issue is that at double the amount I only got 8 good size cookies. I doubled the recipe and used quick cooking oats, coconut oil, a few dashes of Penzys cinnamon, and we do have a sweet tooth so used the recommended amount of brown and white sugar. ![]()
