Recipe Talk

Hi! I'm looking for a healthy oatmeal breakfast cookie from the late 80's/early 90's that I believe was from Deidre Hall. Mom used to make it when I was a kid, but let someone borrow the recipe and it was never returned. I want to surprise my mom, as well as make it for my little one. I remember they were over-sized and made with oatmeal, cheddar cheese, shredded carrots and possibly raisins. Any help is appreciated!

Yield
Makes about 4 dozen

Ingredients

3 ounces unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
18 tablespoons (2 1/4 sticks) unsalted butter
4 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon coarse salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-process cocoa powder, plus 2 tablespoons for icing
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/4 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
1 1/2 tablespoons milk
Vegetable oil, cooking spray

Directions

1.Melt chocolate with 1 cup butter (2 sticks) in a saucepan over medium-high heat, stirring constantly. Let cool slightly.
2.Put eggs, vanilla, and granulated sugar in bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment. Mix on medium speed until pale, 4 to 5 minutes. Mix in chocolate mixture, salt, cinnamon, 1/2 cup cocoa powder, and the flour.
3.Heat a waffle iron until hot. Lightly coat grids with cooking spray. Spoon about 1 tablespoon batter onto center of each waffle-iron square to make 1 1/2-inch rounds. Close cover; cook until set, about 1 1/2 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack, bottom sides up. Let cool completely. Repeat with remaining batter, coating grids with cooking spray after each batch.
4.Melt remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add confectioners' sugar and remaining 2 tablespoons cocoa powder; stir until smooth. Stir in milk.
5.Gently dip 1 surface of each cookie in icing so that just the waffle lines (not gaps) are coated. Repeat with remaining cookies and icing. Transfer to wire racks; let stand until set, about 10 minutes. Dust iced surfaces of cookies with confectioners' sugar.

Oatmeal, Carrot and Raisin Cookies

Makes approx 15 cookies

Ingredients
•1/2 cup of oatmeal
•1/2 cup of all purpose flour
•1/3 cup of butter, at room temperature
•1/2 cup of unsweetened apple sauce, warmed
•1/4 teaspoon of all spice
•1/2 teaspoon of cinnamon
•1/3 cup of grated carrot
•1/4 cup of raisins
•2 teaspoons of fig butter (I used Trader Joes ones)

Directions

Preheat oven to 180c or 350f (gas mark 4)

In a bowl, mix together the flour, oatmeal, all spice and cinnamon.

In another bowl mix together the butter, apple sauce, fig butter.

Add butter mixture to the oatmeal and flour until ingredients are well combined and ten stir in the carrot and raisins.

Line a baking tray with some parchment paper and spoon about a tablespoon of the mixture onto the tray, flatten it down with the back of a fork, so that you have a rough oval shape. Repeat with the rest of the mixture.

Place in the oven and bake until biscuits are nice and golden approx 18-20mins, transfer to a wire rack to cool.

If your kids are like mine, these won’t last very long at all. But otherwise store in an airtight container.
