Kyle’s Cookies (Recipe)

01/15/2012

I have been bragging about making these cookies as they are my son’s favourite treat to eat these days. When you can find something a toddler will happily eat you take it especially when they turn into family favourites. They are supper easy to make (but don’t tell anyone that – let them think they took you hours to make).

Ingredients:

1/4 cup of sliced almonds

2 egg whites

1/3 cup of honey

1/2 tsp of ground cinnamon

1/8 tsp of salt

Dash of nutmeg

1 1/2 cups of uncooked quick oats

1/3 cup of dried fruit of your choice in small bits (e.g. raisins, cranberries, prunes, apricots)

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 350 F
2. Brown almonds on a non-stick cookie sheet for 5 minutes or until golden brown
3. Combine the egg whites, honey, cinnamon, salt and nutmeg in a bowl and stir until completely blended
4. Add uncooked quick oats, toasted almonds and dried fruit to the bowl and continue stirring until well blended
5. Using teaspoons round into small balls and drop on to cookie sheet (nonstick/ungreased)
6. Bake for 12 minutes or until lightly browned, let them cool on a wired rack before severing

Enjoy!
