Makes 3 Dozen

Ingredients

• 243 grams 1-minute oats

• 208 grams sugar 

• 193 grams vegetable oil

• 1 egg, beaten 

• 204 grams flour

• 16 grams baking powder 

• 4.8 grams kosher salt

• 50 grams whole milk

• 16 grams imitation vanilla extract 

• *raisins optional

METHOD

Preheat the oven to 400°. In a large mixing bowl, combine oats, sugar, oil, and the beaten egg, stirring to combine. In a small bowl, combine the flour, baking powder, and salt. In thirds, add the flour mixture into the large mixing bowl (that contains the oat/oil mixture) stirring between additions until all of the flour mixture is added. Lastly, stir in the milk and vanilla until fully incorporated.

Using a tablespoon, scoop equal portions of the cookie dough onto a parchment-lined (silpat baking mat) baking sheet, approximately 3” apart. 

Wet a finger with water and press each cookie out until thin. Top each cookie with 5-6 raisins if desired.

Bake until crispy and golden. Remove the cookies immediately from the baking sheet and allow to cool on a dish.
