Another sweet treat to end this week, enjoy as always. :-)

Honey Oatmeal Cookies

The ability of honey to retain water keeps these cookies moist. Freshly ground out flour makes them 

especially good for anyone with a wheat allergy.

Ingredients:

4 cups rolled oats

1 tsp. baking powder

1 tsp. cinnamon

Pinch of salt

3/4 cups softened unsalted butter

1/2 cup liquid honey

1 egg

1 tsp. vanilla extract

1/2 cups raisins (or chocolate chips) (both optional)

36 pecan halves (also optional)

Directions:

In food processor (or blender), process 2 cups of the rolled oats until in fine flour. Add baking powder, 

cinnamon and salt; process to combine. In a bowl, blend together butter, honey, egg and vanilla; stir 

in oat flour mixture, remaining rolled oats and raisins (if using). Drop heaping teaspoonfuls at a time, 

about 1 inch apart onto baking sheet. Flatten to 1/4 inch thickness and decorate with pecan halves (if 

using). Bake in preheated 375 degrees F. oven until lightly browned at edges, about 20 minutes. Let 

cool slightly on sheet and transfer to wire rack to let cool completely. Makes about 3 dozen (or 36) 

cookies. Enjoy with your favourite beverage as a dessert or light snack.

Honeyed Treats

Honey is available in several forms; comb honey is sealed in beeswax, liquid honey has been extracted

from the comb and strained, creamed honey is liquid honey that has been seeded with finely granulated 

honey crystals and stored under controlled conditions until it's full of fine crystals and then it is 

beaten well. If kept cold, raw liquid honey will form coarse crystals; which are completely harmless, 

you can immerse the container in warm water until crystals are melted. Creamed honey may be turned 

into liquid honey in the same way. Finally today; when you buy honey, think of how you'll be using it. 

Comb honey is suitable only for spreading, while liquid honey is easy to measure and to mix into a 

batter, and creamed honey makes the lightest cakes. Liquid and creamed honeys are interchangeable 

in most recipes.
