My original plan here was to make a "healthier" cookie. I don't know if I quite accomplished that, but it is certainly not ALL bad for you as it is made w/low gluten flour, flax seed, and oatmeal. It is Damon tested and he said they were good, but they do not flatten out like other cookies and they are very crunchy. So try it and low gluten flour is not required. I used it because I wanted to try it. I most likely will do 1/2 cup low gluten and 1/2 cup regular flour next time.
OK, here we ago: a ton of ingredients!
1 Stick unsalted butter
3/4 C. brown sugar
1/3 C. Peanut Butter
1 Egg
1 cup Low gluten Flour (or 1/2 cup low and 1/2 cup regular)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
pinch of salt
1 C. Steel Cut Oats
4 oz. Dark Chocolate Chips
1/4 teaspoon Cinnamon
A dash or 2 of Nutmeg
1/3 C. chopped almonds
3 Tablespoons Flax Seeds
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter, egg, sugar and peanut butter until smooth. Add flour, baking soda, powder, oats, Cinnamon, Nutmeg and salt. Blend until ingredients are totally incorporated. Next add the almonds, flax seed and chocolate chips until incorporated.
Make into 24 even balls 1.5" in diameter and then slightly flatten. Bake for about 12 minutes or until slightly golden on top.
I did the calculations and they are about 160 calories per cookie but each cookie has around 7 grams of fiber and protein in them. Plus all the other good stuff that you get from the ingredients naturally.
Please feel free to tweak it and let me know any other variation or if something worked better for you.
Enjoy.
