Whole Grain Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Adjust two oven racks to the lower and upper third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Add the flour and oats to a food processor and pulse until the oats are finely ground. Transfer to a medium bowl, add the baking soda and 1/2 teaspoon salt and whisk to combine. Whisk together the egg, applesauce and vanilla in a small bowl.
• Add the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or to a large bowl if using a hand mixer). Beat on medium-high until the mixture is light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the applesauce-egg mixture and beat until incorporated, scraping down the sides of the bowl as needed. Reduce the mixer speed to medium-low and add the flour-oats mixture in two batches, mixing until just incorporated. Add the chocolate chips and mix until evenly distributed in the batter.
• Drop heaping tablespoonfuls of batter onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart. All the batter won't fit on the two sheets; cookies will need to be baked in batches. Bake until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through. Let the cookies cool for a few minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely. Once the lined baking sheets are cool, repeat with the remaining batter. Store the cookies at room temperature in airtight containers for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Line baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Pulse the walnuts in a food processor several times to chop; continue processing until the walnuts are ground into flour; transfer to a bowl. Mix in the rolled oats, whole wheat flour, flax meal, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon until thoroughly combined.
• Combine the almond butter, canola oil, agave nectar, brown sugar, egg, and vanilla extract in the food processor and process a few seconds to blend the ingredients well; transfer the almond butter mixture to a large bowl and fold in the dried cherries and chocolate chips. Mix the walnut-oatmeal mixture into the almond butter mixture (dough will be very thick).
• Scoop up heaping teaspoons of dough, and form into balls; lay the dough balls onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and flatten the cookies with a spatula. Allow to cool for about 5 minutes on the baking sheets before removing to finish cooling on wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, mix together the peanut butter, butter, honey, brown sugar and egg until smooth. Combine the whole wheat flour and baking powder; stir into the batter until blended. Roll into small balls, and place on a greased cookie sheet. Flatten slightly using a fork.
• Bake for 13 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until cookies are slightly toasted at the edges.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 375°F.
• Mix sugars, butter, vanilla and egg in large bowl. Stir in flour, baking soda and salt (dough will be stiff). Stir in chocolate chips. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light brown (centers will be soft). Cool slightly; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, stir sugars, butter, baking soda, cinnamon, salt, vanilla and eggs with spoon until well blended. Stir in oats, flour and raisins.
• On ungreased cookie sheets, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
• Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light brown. Cool 2 minutes; remove from cookie sheets.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a small bowl, combine flour, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, salt, and baking soda; set aside.
• In a large bowl, cream butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
• Add egg, milk, and vanilla; mix well.
• Slowly add dry ingredients mixing well after each addition.
• Stir in oatmeal and unprocessed bran.
• Add raisins if desired.
• Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.
• Bake for 8-10 minutes or until done.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Cream butter, white sugar, and brown sugar together in a large bowl until smooth. Add eggs and vanilla extract and mix until light and fluffy. Add whole wheat flour, baking soda, and salt and mix. Stir in chocolate chips and walnuts to make a very crumbly dough. Use hands and spoon to press and compact dough.
• Form dough into approximately 3 dozen 1 1/2-inch balls and place on a baking sheet. Press down slightly to flatten.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 8 to 12 minutes. Allow to cool before removing from the baking sheet.
