HEALTHY OATMEAL EVERYTHING COOKIES

3 TBLSP’S UNSALTED BUTTER

1/3 CUP OLIVE OIL

3/4 CUP BROWN SUGAR

1 CUP FLOUR

1 TSP BAKING SODA

1/4 TSP SALT

1 LARGE EGG

3 TBLSP’S ground flax seed

1 TSP CINNAMON

3/4 CUP ROLLED OATS OR QUICK OATS

1/4 CUP RAISIANS

1/4 CUP GRATED COCONUT

1/4 CUP CHOPPED WALNUTS

FEW CHOCOLATE CHIPS JUST FOR TOPS OF COOKIES

o.k. I know you’re thining olive oil for cookies, really? Yes, I just made these a few days ago and even my boy who hates coconut loved these cookies. I just decided instead of all the butter I normally use, i’d use a little for flavor and use olive oil too and instead of loads of chocolate chips I just put a few mashed in tops of dough right before baking. 

So cream the butter, sugar and olive oil together; add egg and cream together. In another bowl mix flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon together then add to creamed mixture, stir well. Add rest of ingredients stir then preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop cookie dough by heaping tsp full on cookie sheet or pizza stone and place 3 to 4 chocolate chips on tops if desired and slightly mash them in. Bake for 10-12 minutes in hot oven, remove just as the cookies turn slightly golden in order to keep them soft and chewy. Serve warm. Store cooled cookies in a covered container or ziplocked bag…..nice on the go breakfast with coffee too!!
