Oat Raisin Cookies

My 11 years old daughter loves to bake and has baked these cookies herself. I just operated the oven for her. I look for some healthy options so we have used wheat flour instead all-purpose flour. We have also used rolled oats. Oat is a good source of fibers. Try out this light dish and please do share your comments........

• Butter ½ cup
• Sugar 1 cup
• Vanilla essence ½ tsp
• vinegar 1 tbsp
• Wheat flour 1 cup
• Baking powder 1¼ tsp
• Baking soda ½ tsp
• Salt 2 pinces
• Old fashioned quick roled oats 1 cup
• Raisins 1/3 cup
• Walnuts chopped 1/3 cup

Method of preparation:

1. Preheat oven at 350°F.
2. Sieve together wheat flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt a couple of times. Keep aside
3. Take butter in a mixing bowl. Butter should be soft but not melted. Add sugar in the butter and beat them in one direction until light and fluffy.
4. Add vanilla essence and vinegar. Mix again.
5. Add Flour mixture in the butter and sugar mix . Add rolled oats and mix well.
6. Add chopped walnuts and raisins. Mix well. Make a dough. If the dough is too crumbly add 1 tbsp water. Smoothen the dough.Do not over knead the dough.

7. Divide the dough into small ball like key limes. Round them in your palms and press it a little to flaten it.
8. Arrange the cookies in the cookie try. Leave some space between two cookies as they expand when you bake them.
9. Put the cookie tray in the pre heated oven and bake for about 20 minutes.

10. Let the cookies cool down completely before you serve them.
11. These cookies can be stored in airtight containers for a couple of weeks.

1. These cookies are very easy to make and have been made by my 11 year old daughter.
2. You can also use some other dried fruits and nuts as per taste.
3. I have used non stick baking tray so I did not put any perchement paper but use a layer of perchement paper if you are using aluminum tray.
