Grandfather's Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies

 

When Grandmommy needed to eat more whole wheat, Grandfather took his traditional recipe and created this in 2022.

 Ingredients:

2 sticks of butter 

1/2 cup of firmly packed Splenda Brown Sugar (or one cup of regular brown sugar) 

1/8 cup of Stevia sweetener (or 1/2 cup of granulated sugar)

2 eggs 

1 teaspoon vanilla 

1/2 cup of all-purpose flour PLUS 2/3 cup

1/3 cup of whole whet flour

1 teaspoon baking soda 

1 teaspoon cinnamon 

1/2 teaspoon salt (optional) 

3 cups of uncooked oatmeal 

 

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees F 

2. Beat together butter and sugars until creamy. I usually soften the butter a bit.

3. Add eggs and vanilla and beat well. 

4. In a separate bowl, add combined all of the all-purpose flour, the 1/3 cup of whole wheat flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon and 1/2 teaspoon of salt, mix well. 

5. Add the flour mix to the eggs, butter, etc mix.

5. Stir in 3 cups of oats, mix well. 

6. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. 

7. Bake 10 to 12 minutes until golden brown. 

8. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack. Makes about a dozen cookies.
