Recipe Idea: Cookies for those with Allergies

A wonderful My Memphis Mommy Reader Kelly Blumenthal sent in this recipe for Oatmeal Raisin Cookies with easy adjustments you can make for any allergies.

This is from a Whole Foods recipe on their website that I adapted. Love it because it is nut and milk free. I use dairy free butter (Earth Balance) for butter substitution found at Whole Foods or Wal-mart

I make half of the batch with chocolate chips and the other half with carob chips (Sunspire brand – Whole Foods), since Chocolate is an allergy trigger for me.

I like to use an all-purpose flour which is easier to find and less coarse than whole wheat.

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, softened

3 tablespoons canola oil

½ cup evaporated cane juice sugar

1 egg

2 teaspoons vanilla extract

½ teaspoon salt

1 cup quick cook or old-fashioned rolled oats

¼ cup wheat germ, preferably toasted

1 cup all-purpose flour

¾ teaspoon baking powder

½ cup seedless raisins

½ cup chocolate or carob chips

Method

Preheat oven to 375F. Line 2 large baking sheets with parchment paper; set aside.

In a large bowl, whisk together butter and oil until completely blended. Whisk in sugar, egg, vanilla and salt; set aside.

In a second large bowl, combine oats, wheat germ flour and baking powder, then add to butter mixture and stir well

to combine thoroughly. Fold in raisins and chocolate/carob chips.

Drop dough by the spoonful onto prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart, and bake until cooked through

and golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Carefully transfer to wire racks and set aside to let cool completely.
