Beloved's Breakfast Cookies
As promised...Save a lot on breakfast and eat well too.
Ahead of time thaw and let come to room temperature
One pound of Butter
Crack four eggs ( I use free range Large browns with added Omega 3) This here is my BIG secret it rally does make all the difference.)
add 2Tea. Almond Extract ( I used to use Pure Vanilla)
2 C. Brown sugar (packed,this is important to pack it press it down hard)
1 C. Sugar in the Raw, This offers some minerals and a more nutritious option
Cream well for about four minutes to dissolve the sugars (this makes the cookie!)
Measure out
6 C. whole Oats (not the quick cook type) See the yellow container (set aside)
In the Green container I mix:
3 C. flour ( Spelt, oat, brown rice, millet, whole wheat,the choice is open) I am allergic to wheat. I have a grist mill and grind my own grain, but as in photo you can buy many varieties now. I put this into the green 4 cup measure that holds a little more than 4 C. I then add about
1/2 C. ground flax seed (see the foil jar, Flax needs to be kept from light) This is a pantry staple
2 teaspoons Baking Soda
2 teaspoons SEA SALT (don't bother using dead salt you need the iodine of the real thing.) The flavor is worth the habit!
2 teaspoons Baking Powder
2 teaspoons of Cinnamon forgotten in this batch :) Perfectly imperfect! :)
1 teaspoon clove forgotten in this batch :)
Now that your ingredient's are all measured out ,put your containers all away, Your mixer is all ready for you now.
With the butter, sugars, eggs and almond extract creamed.
You can cover a cookie sheet if you want to do it my way. See the scoop? Great investment!
Creamed and ready.....
Cover your mixer (mine is called Vanilla Spin, so named by Little Dove during a cooking lesson.) With a towel. I have a plastic splash guard and find it a hassle.
The green container has all the powders in it.
blend very well, scrape the bowel. Bend some more.
Now your bowl will be pretty full, add your Whole Oats, blend and scrape, and blend some more.
At this point you may be temped to taste, Don't RAW EGG makes Jill a sick girl :)
because you pre-measured and then put away your containers your counter is pretty clear at this point.
Now using my scoop I scoop out all the cookies at one time. They are uniform and the scoop makes fast work of it. At this point I had to go to the city with Dash;)
The cure for forgetfulness....I keep a jar of cinnamon and sugar in the Pantry for cinnamon toast.
Inventive Homemakers Unite!
I froze this tray in the deep freezer. Every homemaker should have one on her wish list. I saved and got mine during my fourth year of marriage. t has saved us thousands of dollars over the years.
Heat your oven,
300 convection.
350 conventional.
Now as you can see later when I had more home time and the utilities were at the low cost time of day I bake. See the sheets are staged as I remove them promptly. Good tools , the best you can afford will save you a bundle of money and effort over the years. Place and bake. I bake them Oh 10-12 minutes. I never time anymore unless I might be distracted by a kids project. I can tell just by the smell.
I am fresh because I only just have the half job of baking and putting them up.
See the bagged cookies in the back ground... Well three to a pack and we have beloved's breakfast for two weeks in the deep freeze in the garage. We also invested $100. bucks and got a curb side refer that we keep in the garage for drinks and big Costco shops. He exists in the early a.m. quietly. I make his sandwich and a bag of chips, place it on the counter or in his box. we grab the drinks out of the garage refer an O.J. and a coke and a Gater Aide.
See the clean up crew close at foot.
Sometimes I am afforded a few quiet moments for prayer and blogging in the early morning. If the kids sleep in, Dash Hawk is an eagle eye up with the dawn.
