Ingredients




60 gr.s of wholemeal spelt flour
60 gr.s of white organic flour
80 gr.s of dried, with apple sweetened cranberries ( I buy mine  my food health shop )
80 gr.s of peeled pecan halves
90 gr.s of raw, unrefined sugar
120 mls of maple syrup
1 organic egg, beaten
120 gr.s of lightly salted butter, soften
1 teaspoon of baking powder
100 gr.s of whole oats, medium sized

Preparation

1 Preheat the oven for 15 minutes on 180°C. ( 350 F ) 2 Tip: With an oiled knife, cut up the cranberries & the pecans into little pieces. You can also break up the pecan halves. Because of the oil, the cranberries & pecans won't stick to your knife. 3 In your Kenwood or Kitchen Aid, cream together the butter, egg, sugar & maple syrup. 4 In another bowl, add flour, baking powder & oats. Combine well. 5 Stir in the mix of flour, baking powder & oats. 6 Now, add the chopped up cranberries & pecans. Mix well. 7 This is a wet dough. Take your dough out & place it on a well floured Silpat or well floured baking sheet & dust your both hands well with flour. You are going to make smaller balls from the dough & flatten them a bit. Place them on a Silpat on a wire oven rack. Place in the oven, on a lower shelf. Bake for about 15 minutes. Watch them carefully!!! Don't let them get too brown!! Let them sit on the Silpat for about 5 minutes. The cookies will still be a bit soft. Transfer to a wire rack to cool down completely. Repeat with the rest of the dough. After cooling down completely, store in a cookies box.

About


I so love making these cookies. You can't use cookie cutters because the dough is too wet. But it is a lovely cookie with a bit harder outside & a denser inside with yummie cranberries, pecans & oats. I used half wholemeal spelt flour & half white organic flour. They also contain maple syrup. It is an adapated recipe from Recipezaar.
So, these are also a bit good for you,...
