It occurred to me as I was looking for yet another lost recipe today, that perhaps I should include another of my loves on this photo journal journey…Food! It’s hard to loose your blog in a junk drawer, so this should make things a lot easier.
Technically these aren’t called “Sarah’s Cookies”, but are actually “Tall Grass Folk Festival Cookies”. But the recipe came to me from Sarah and I like to be reminded of her as much as possible, so that’s what they are to me. This is my favorite “healthy-ish cookie” recipe. They are tasty enough that you want to eat a handful at a time and are nutritious enough that you don’t feel guilty doing so…or at least I don’t. And I get extra cool mom points when Soph asks for a second or third and I actually say yes. They are also a favorite because you can basically just toss in whatever you have on hand…By far my favorite combo so far is dried cherries and dark chocolate (what…dark chocolate has antioxidants or something). There now I will never have to dig for this recipe again. Thanks Sarah!!
Sarah’s Cookies (Adapted from Tall Grass Folk Festival Cookie Recipe)
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
2 large eggs
1/3 cup water
1 tsp vanilla
1 3/4 cup flour (white or whole wheat or any combo)
3/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup flax
1/2 cup unsweetened, shredded coconut
Approx 1 ½ cups of….stuff! Dried fruit, seeds, nuts, chocolate, cereal even works in pinch.
Mix butter and sugars. Add egg, water and vanilla and stir until mixed. Add remaining ingredients until combined. Chill dough. Drop onto greased cookie sheet…squish them if you like a flatter crispier cookie and don’t if you like them chewy. Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes.
