Peanut Butter, Oatmeal, and Olive Oil Cookies
Recipe by Donna Currie at Cookistry
1/2 cup white sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup Everyday Fresh olive oil
1/2 cup chunky peanut butter
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 cups whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup old fashioned rolled oats
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, or in a large bowl with an electric mixer, cream the sugars, oil, and peanut butter together. Add the egg and beat well.
In a separate bowl, combine the salt, baking powder, pastry flour, and oats. Mix the dry ingredients into the wet until well combined.
Using a small scoop or spoon, form small balls from the dough. Place them on the baking sheets and flatten them with the palm of your hand or the bottom of a glass to about 1/2 inch thick.
Bake until the cookies are just beginning to brown, about 14 minutes.
Remove the cookies from the oven and let them cool completely on a rack.
