They are so easy and so delicious! And flexible – you can use any nuts or seeds you like or have, any dry fruits or berries.
The carb content can probably be reduced even further by substituting part of the flour with the whole wheat flour, maybe use more oats, but I didn’t try that. I like them the way they are too much.
Ingredients:
- Unsalted butter – 1 stick (113gr), room temperature!
- Sugar – 1/2 cup
- Salt – 1/2 tsp
- Egg – 1
- Baking powder – 1/2 tsp
- Flour – 2 cups
- Rolled oats – 1 cup
- Vanilla extract – 1tsp
- Walnuts or pecans – 1/2 cup
- Dried berries (raisins, cranberries, tart cherries) – 1/2 cup
Directions:
- Put all the ingredients except nuts and dried berries into a bowl and mix them with a spoon first.
- When it’s too hard to use a spoon, use your hands.
- Add nuts and berries, combine the batter using your hands into a ball.
- The dough will be a little sticky.
- Make a log, wrap with a plastic wrap and freeze it, just to make it easier to divide a dough into cookies.
- Preheat your oven to 350 °F
- Using sharp knife, slice frozen dough into 1/4 inch slices and put on a baking sheet covered with the parchment paper.
- Bake for about 20-30 minutes or until golden brown (depends on your oven).
