Honey Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies

I found this recipe from Ellie Krieger who has the Healthy Appetite show on Food Network. It passed the test since my daughter said, "Can I have another cookie?...Yum!"


Recipe:
2 tbsp melted unsalted butter
1/4 cup canola oil
1/2 cup honey
1 large egg
1/4 cup smooth unsalted almond butter (Trader Joes)
1/2 tsp vanilla extract
1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
1 3/4 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup raisins

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Mist 2 baking sheets with cooking spray or use parchment paper. Beat the butter, canola oil, honey, egg, almond butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl with a mixer until combined.

2. In another bowl, whisk the dry ingredients minus the oatmeal and raisins. Add the flour mixture to the wet mixture and combine. Stir in the oats and raisins.

3. Scoop tablespoons onto lined cookie sheets and bake until golden brown about 12 minutes. Let the cookies rest on the baking sheet for 2 minutes and transfer to a rack to cool completely.
