Grandma’s Cookbook – Honey Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies

Oatmeal cookies have sounded so good lately so I thought I’d explore the cookbook of my grandmother for some inspiration.  The recipe that caught my eye was for a Honey Chocolate Oatmeal Cookie.  I have to say I’ve never seen this combo in an oatmeal cookie before.  

I looked at the recipe and what was in my pantry.  I switched out the shortening for 1/2 cup grass fed butter and 1/2 cup coconut oil.  I didn’t have chocolate but cocoa powder would do.  White spelt flour was used instead of the cake flour. The sugar was cut in half with a combo on honey and brown sugar. I added some coconut extract and some granola and white candy sprinkles to decorate with.  

This recipe was put together in shifts.

 One night I measured out the dry ingredients.

 The next morning before work I preset the oven to 325 degrees.

Next the wet ingredients and dry ingredients were mixed together. 

Teaspoons of dough were dropped onto a parchment paper lined cookie sheet.  

One batch was cooked and a few were taken to a friend at work.  The rest of the dough was placed in the refrigerator for baking later.

Sometimes we stay away from cooking because we think we don’t have time and often that is true but it’s amazing what can be accomplished when we take little steps at a time.

I’d love to hear what your favorite cookie recipe is and how you came about having it.
