In September I was accepted to take part in the Grain Mill Wagon Challenge. What an honor! My challenge was to make 5 recipes using grain milled flour from my new WonderMill Grain Mill. One of the recipes I decided to make a batch of Judy’s Famous Cookies.
For each recipe I had to write a blog post. I have been using a WonderMill Grain Mill for years and milling my own flour has been something I’ve really enjoyed. I purchase organic wheat berries and grind my own flour regularly, this enables me to have the freshest flour possible.
Wheat berries last indefinitely as long as they are stored in a cool, dry place.
The first recipe I will share I’ve had for as long as I’ve been grinding wheat berries! It’s from my dear friend Judy.
Judy’s Famous Cookies
Ingredients:
¾ cup butter (or use ¼ cup butter, ½ cup applesauce)
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup sugar
1 egg
¼ cup water
1 tsp vanilla
2 cups oats
1 ¾ cup whole wheat flour
1 cup coconut
1 cup raisins (or chocolate chips)
1 tsp salt
½ tsp baking soda
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Beat together the butter (or applesauce), the sugars, egg, water and vanilla. Add the oats, whole-wheat flour, salt and soda. Add coconut and raisins.
If necessary, add another ¼ to ½ cup whole-wheat flour for a stiffer dough.
Drop by rounded teaspoonful onto a greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
Let cool on a wire rack.
Store in an airtight container.
These cookies can also be frozen to enjoy later.
