Simple Little Cookies

Recipe #73776 | 30 min | 20 min prep | add private note

By: Jenny Sanders
Oct 21, 2003

This is adapted from one of my Great Grandmother's recipes, taken from a notebook of my Grandmothers. It was not the first recipe I tried from it as I thought they looked plain and dull. How wrong! These are tasty and easy to make; ideal for our two-person household since the recipe makes modest quantities.

16 cookies (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 350°F.
  2. 2
    Lightly butter a large cookie sheet, or -- better -- line it with parchment paper.
  3. 3
    Cream the butter and honey.
  4. 4
    Beat in the egg and almond extract.
  5. 5
    Stir in the oat flakes, coconut and almonds.
  6. 6
    Let the dough sit for 5 minutes before spooning it out.
  7. 7
    Use a melon-baller or spoon to press the mixture against the side of the bowl, then slide the cookie gently onto the cookie sheet.
  8. 8
    Bake for 8 to 10 minutes, until just lightly browned around the edges.
  9. 9
    Remove to a rack to cool.

Simple and quick. Not very sweet, but since relatively healthy, a good cookie for when grandparents visit (grandpa needs to watch his sugar intake). I'm always looking for healthier cookies to swap in place of his regular high sugar/fat cookie addiction. And these have got whole grains and heart-healthy almonds too.

    I really enjoyed these cookies! They are not overly sweet, and go GREAT with a fresh cup of coffee!!! I had a bit of trouble forming the cookies, but nothing major ... I got 18 cookies. My husband and daughter don't like this kind of cookie (no chocolate LOL) so it's GREAT for me because I know they'll be there when I want one! Great recipe, thanks for posting it Jenny!

    These are really very good and simple. I like the idea that it makes just a few cookies...fresh cookies but not dozens of them around to tempt.

    Easy to make and relatively healthy, but lacking taste for us. Maybe more almond extract next time?
