Tessa Kiros Oat Cookies

I am crazy about Tessa Kiros and her books. This recipe is out of Apples for Jam.

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 25 cookies

Ingredients

• 1  egg
• 2⁄3 cup light brown sugar, lightly packed
• 1  teaspoon vanilla
• 5 1⁄2 tablespoons butter, softened
• 1⁄2 cup all-purpose flour
• 1⁄3 cup whole wheat flour
• 1  teaspoon baking powder
•  salt, a pinch
• 1  cup oats, quick cooking
• 1 1⁄2 tablespoons milk

Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Whip the egg, sugar, and vanilla together until the sugar has dissolved. Beat in the butter and then sift in the all-purpose flour and whole wheat flours and baking powder. Add a pinch of salt and the oats, and mix well with a wooden spoon. Stir in the milk.
3. With lightly moistened hands, shape the dough into walnut-sized balls and put them, well spaced, on the baking sheet. Flatten them a bit so they look like mini hamburger patties. Bake for about 15 minutes until they are golden around the edges (they might still be a little soft on top).
4. Cool on a wire rack and then keep in your cookie jar for up to 5 days.
