CHEWY OATMEAL WALNUT COOKIES
Steps:
- Gather the ingredients.
- Preheat the oven to 375 F. Lightly grease the cookie sheets or line them with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and the salt in a large bowl with a wire whisk. Set the bowl aside.
- In a separate bowl, cream the butter and the sugar. Add the egg and vanilla. Combine completely. Slowly add flour mixture until it was well combined. Hand-stir the oats and the walnuts.
- Drop 2 tablespoons of dough for on the prepared cookie sheets.
- Bake the cookies for 12 to 14 minutes or until they are browned around the edges.
- Take the sheets from the oven, and allow the cookies to cool on the sheets for 1 to 2 minutes.
- Remove the Oatmeal Walnut Cookies to a wire rack to cool completely before storing them in a cookie jar with a loose lid. Notes: Most cookie recipes call for "ungreased cookie sheets." For those recipes, we recommend spraying your cookie sheet with cookie spray and wipe away any excess oil with a paper towel. This way you don't have to worry about scraping off your cookies.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cream the butter until it is light and fluffy. And the powdered sugar and continue mixing, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl as needed. Mix in the egg and vanilla extract. Sift together the flour, cocoa powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture by halves, beating to incorporate after each addition. Turn out the dough onto a clean surface and form it into a disk with your hands. Split the disk in half and place them in the fridge to firm up for 1 hour.
- Working on a floured surface (you'll need a decent amount, since the dough is sticky), roll out the dough to 1/8-inch thick. Shape the cookies using 1 1/2-inch round cutter and place them on a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, then let cool completely.
- Break up the chocolate into a bowl and set it over a small pot of simmering water (make sure the water doesn't touch the water). Add the butter and the peppermint flavor and stir the mixture steadily until it's fully melted and looks glossy and smooth. Remove the bowl and let the chocolate cool slightly.
- One by one, drop the cookies in the chocolate, then scoop them out with a fork to let the excess drip off. (Tap the cookies against the side of the bowl to help drain the extra chocolate.) Move them carefully to a wire rack or parchment-paper-lined baking sheet. When they're all coated, move the sheet to the refrigerator or freezer to set.

THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
I tried to combine recipes to come up with a cookie that tastes like Tate's Bake Shop cookies. The published Tate's recipe on YouTube does not taste like the cookies you buy in the store in the green bag. This is the closest I've come to simulating the oatmeal raisin flavor. This is not a thick cakey cookie but a thin, crisp, lighter version.

THE BEST VEGAN OAT & WALNUT WAFFLES (OR PANCAKES)
Our Sunday tradition entails that my hubby make waffles for me and the boys (3 and 5). We tried this recipe this morning and it was the BEST waffles he's made by far! This recipe is from Moosewood Resturant and is listed exactly as they wrote it. Here are my adaptions: We omitted the walnuts due to allergies. We used all unbleached flour. We decreased the soy milk by 1/3 cup and added a glob of vanilla yogurt instead. We used sugar instead of maple syrup. Lastly, we doubled the recipe for the four of us because we love leftovers for the next morning! (though I only added one tbsp of oil instead of two) This could be used for pancakes also. Follow-up: since posting this recipe, I tried as pancakes. While the taste was good, I prefer the waffles.

Steps:
- If toasting walnuts, toast in a single layer on an unoiled baking tray at 350 for 5 to 10 minutes, until fragant and golden brown.
- In a large bowl, sift the flours, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, and nutmeg, Stir in the walnuts and oats.
- In a separate bowl, stir together the milk, oil, and maple syrup or sugar.
- make a well in the dry ingredients and pour in the wet ingredients. Stir until just combined.
- Do not overmix the batter. When combining wet and dry ingredients, it is better to leave a few lumps than to stir too much.
- After mixing, let the batter sit for a few minutes until bubbles form on the top. This 'rest' gives the baking powder time to start working so the waffles (or pancakes) will be lighter.
- Preheat waffle iron and lightly oil to prevent sticking.
- Use 1/3 cup of batter for each waffle and bake accoring to the directions for your waffle iron.
