Healthy Oatmeal Cookies

Yield: About 2 dozen cookies

Dry Ingredients:
1 cup white whole wheat flour
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 Tbsp cinnamon *
1/2 tsp nutmeg *

Wet Ingredients:
1/2 cup honey
1/2 cup oil
1 Tbsp molasses
1 egg (beaten with 1 Tbsp water)
1 tsp vanilla

Extras:
1 cup chocolate chips* or
1 cup raisins (or other dried fruit) or
1/2 cup raisins & 1/2 cup walnuts

* When using chocolate chips, I omit the cinnamon and nutmeg. The first time I made this recipe, I decided to substitute chocolate chips for the raisins and still used the cinnamon and nutmeg. The flavors just didn't fit quite right together.

1. In large bowl, mix all dry ingredients together.
2. In medium bowl, mix all wet ingredients together. Hint: when measuring honey, spray measuring cup with oil or cooking spray. Honey won't stick. (For this recipe, I just measure the oil first since it is equal amounts of honey and oil. Then dab a bit of oil in the Tbsp before measuring the molasses.)
3. Mix wet ingredients with dry ingredients. Add "extra ingredients" and mix. If mix seems too wet, add a bit of flour. If it isn't binding together, add an egg white.
4. Cool the mix 20 minutes in the fridge.
5. Preheat oven to 335 degrees Fahrenheit. Drop by tsps on baking sheet. Bake 15-20 minutes.
