Oats have a well-balanced protein than other cereals. Oats contain plant chemicals which have been associated with protection from disease like cancer. They contain a good balance of essential fatty acids, which are linked with longevity and general good health. Oats are high in amino acids which are essential proteins that help facilitate optimum functioning of the body. Oats are a good source of essential vitamins such as thiamin, folic acid, biotin and vitamin E. They also contain zinc, selenium, copper, iron and magnesium.
Little wonder that oatmeal and this multigrain cookie can hardly be called a cookie as it has all the healthy nutrients essential for breakfast. In my house all other cereals are forgotten when I bake these yummy cookies. Not just the breakfast even the post supper dessert is cold milk and this cookie.
Ingredients:
1 ¼ cup cooking oil, 1 cup sugar, 1 cup brown sugar, 2 eggs, 1 tsp vanilla essence, ½ white flour, 1 ½ cup wheat or multi grain flour, 2 cup oat meal(ground), ½ cup rolled oats, 1 tsp baking powder, 1 tsp baking soda, ¼ tsp salt, 1 cup white chocolate chips or chunks, 10 cherries canned or frozen.
Method:
Cream together oil, sugar and brown sugar with egg beater(electric egg beater if possible). Add eggs and vanilla and beat some more till it is creamy and smooth.
Mix flours, oatmeal, rolled oats, baking powder, baking soda and salt in a bowl. Put these into the creamy mixture only three or four tsp at a time. Take a strong wooden spatula to mix the flours with the creamy blend. Now add white chocolate to the mixture. At last cut cherries into small pieces and mix with the rest of the dough.
Make golf ball sized cookie dough balls and place them two inches apart on a non greased cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degree F (220degree C) in a pre heated oven.
Enjoy with a cold glass of milk.
