- 1 cup (90g) sprouted rolled oats I like One Degree, or use sprouted oat flour
- 3 Tbsp (30g) raisins
- 2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1 ¼ cup (175g) whole grain flour sprouted if available
- 3/4 cup sugar I like Sucanat
- 1/4 tsp baking soda
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 8 Tbsp (85g) butter melted
- 2-3 Tbsp water
Place 1 cup rolled oats, 3 tablespoons raisins, 2 teaspoons cinnamon, 1¼ cups whole grain wheat flour, 3/4 cup sugar, 1/4 teaspoon baking soda and 1/4 teaspoon salt in a bowl of a food processor (I love this one, so compact and powerful). Process until uniform. Add 6 tablespoons melted butter and pulse a few times. Add 2-3 tablespoons water and pulse until dough comes together.
Transfer to floured surface, gently need into a ball. Wrap dough in plastic and place in refrigerator for an hour.
Roll dough out to 1/4 inch thickness. Cut out using a 2-inch round cookie cutter.
Alternatively, pinch of a small amount of dough and shape into a disc with your hands (fun for kids!).
Bake in preheated to 350ºF oven for 10-12 minutes.
The cookies will be soft when first out of the oven. They firm up quickly.
Add 2-3 minutes if you prefer crunchy cookies.
