Whole Grain 'steel-Cut' Oatmeal Cookies

marisk's Note:

I just recently started eating Coach's 'steel-cut, cracked and toasted' Oats and it's got me hooked. It's nutty and full of flavor. The original recipe from the package the brown sugar is packed and the table salt is regular salt. Please note that I'm not sure how this will work with regular oatmeal. The number of cookies will depend on the size you make them. Okay, I bought another brand of 'steel-cut' oatmeal to see if there was a difference. There was enough difference in the texture, flavor, cook-time and overall quality (to me) that I recommend you use the Coach's brand for this recipe.

I wish they had been a little chewier - but then again, I used margarine rather than butter and that probably could have made all the difference. Otherwise, I was thrilled to find a steel-cut oatmeal cookie!

I made this recipe with crunchy peanut butter and Bobs Red Mill steel cuts I added a little bit of water to combat dryness worked out great
