Lack of fiber has really set Lucas back in his toilet training so last night I made fiber cookies. Fiber should be fun. And these "babies" have loads of fiber. If they don't do the trick next time I will go for a more hearty flour selection to really do the job. The recipe I followed is sooooooo yummy that I haven't even noticed the fiber in the cookies like you would expect.
And I had lots of help making the batter, testing the batter and then measuring the scoops for the baking sheet. There is so much for kids to do when you bake. I love it. It is my favorite way of entertaining them when I am at my wits end.
Here's the recipe ( I did wheat flour and added wheat germ to the recipe too):
Servings: 60 cookies (5 dozen)
1 cup (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
2 1/2 cups QUAKER OATS (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
2 cups (12-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Semi-Sweet Chocolate Morsels
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
PREHEAT oven to 375° F.
BEAT butter and sugars in large bowl until creamy. Add eggs, milk and vanilla extract; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda and salt; mix well. Stir in oats, morsels and nuts; mix well. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheets.
BAKE for 9 to 10 minutes for a chewy cookie or 12 to 13 minutes for a crisp cookie. Cool on baking sheets for 1 minute; remove to wire rack to cool completely. Store tightly covered.
