These cookies are wonderful, and good for you too! I prefer to use real butter but margarine can be substituted. Wheat germ can also be substituted for the wheat bran. My two year old loves these and I feel less guilty letting him eat them.

MOLASSES OAT BRAN COOKIES



Molasses Oat Bran Cookies image

This healthy (well, healthier) cookie recipe won a prize in the 1990 Pillsbury Bake-Off. It was created by by Constance Dudley of Stanardsville, Virginia. I got the recipe from the 50th Anniversary Best of the Bake-Off Cookbook. Cook time includes refrigeration time and cook time for 2 batches of cookies. These can easily be made vegan by using a vegan egg-replacer like Ener-G. Sometimes sugar is not vegan so you could substitute raw sugar, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use fresh honey: Fresh honey has a stronger flavor and aroma than older honey, which will result in more flavorful cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: Baking the cookies at a high temperature will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing: The cookies will continue to firm up as they cool. If you store them while they're still warm, they're more likely to break.

Conclusion:

Honey bran cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand, and they can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them chewy, crispy, or somewhere in between, these cookies are sure to please. So next time you're looking for a sweet snack, give honey bran cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
