There is a cookie that is sold at the Sundance Deli that I love, L-O-V-E, love, but because I don't drive up to Sundance on a regular basis (I've been thinking that I should get back into skiing just so I have an excuse to stop at the deli for a cookie), these spiced oatmeal cookies are a very close second. They are crisp on the outside, chewy on the inside and delicious warm with a glass of ice cold milk (I really do put ice in my milk).
Spiced Oatmeal Cookies
2/3 cup canola oil
1 cup brown sugar
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons molasses
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2/3 cup golden raisins
2/3 cup shredded coconut
2 teaspoons cinnamon
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon allspice
1 teaspoon cloves
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. In a large bowl, combine oil, sugars, and egg and mix until combined. Add molasses and beat well. Mix in remaining ingredients. Drop large spoonful’s of dough (mine were golf ball size-ish) onto a parchment lined cookie sheet. Bake for 13-15 minutes or until the cookies are lightly browned around the edges.
