Sawdust Cookies

This is a toddler-friendly adaptation of our favorite healthy cookies. The original recipe, with egg, remains a family secret.  This new egg-free version for toddlers should be shared.







what you need:
1 cup whole wheat or spelt flour
2 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
freshly ground ginger
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 cup butter (made in Thermomix)
equivalent of one egg EnerG egg replacer
enough juice to make batter consistency, wet but holds together to form cookies
optional: mix in raisins, chocolate chips and/or desiccated coconut

what to do:
preheat oven to 350 degrees

mix ingredients in big bowl in order of appearance according to above ingredient list.  I am currently playing around with soaking the oats ahead of time.

spoon out onto silicon mat lined baking tray

slightly flatten each cookie

bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown
