Oatmeal Raisin Cookies...

I adapted these cookies from Christina Pirellos awesome cookbook 'Cooking the Whole Foods Way'.  They are light and chewy, more like a scone... a delightful snack on a summer day.





Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
1/8 teaspoon sea salt
1/2 cup raisins
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
3 tablespoons coconut oil
3/4 cup brown rice syrup
1 tsp pure vanilla extract



Combine flour, oats, and salt in a large bowl.  Mix in raisins.  Whisk together almond milk, rice syrup, and vanilla.  








Fold all ingredients together.










Drop cookie dough by teaspoonfuls onto a baking sheet covered in parchment paper, leaving about 1 inch between cookies.  Bake for 15 to 18 minutes at 375F until cookies are golden and still a little soft.  Do not overbake or cookies will be tough.

Art class
We taped some Ruellia leaves to the paper and then used a variety of sponging and paintbrush strokes to create some beautiful nature stencils.
