HEALTHY CHINESE NEW YEAR COOKIES

Another new recipe that i want to share with you all.... RAISIN OATMEAL COOKIES. Whenever there is a mention of natural health food, oats would definitely come up at the top of the list.

So i made this cookies for my kids & my parents. For me myself... my LDL( bad cholesterol) is quite high, so oats tested to be very effective in lowering LDL.

My mother-in-law tried those CNY cookies i made.. but she said is too sweet for her, because she has diabetics. So, hopefully this will suits her taste.Oats are good for diabetics as well.

Here's the healthy recipe :

A

• 125g butter
• 90g brown sugar ( has been reduced )
• 40g castor sugar ( has been reduced )

B

• 1 egg
• 1/2 tsp vanilla essence

C ( sifted )

• 125g plain flour
• 1/2 tsp soda bicarbonate

D

• 70g quick oats

E ( mix until combined )

• 190g rolled oats
• 60g black raisins ( you may also use yellow raisins )

1. Cream A until light. Add in B slowly.
2. Blend in C. Add in D followed by E, blend until well combined.
3. Scoop about a tablespoonful of dough, drop onto a baking tray lined with baking sheet, lightly press to flatten the dough slightly.
4. Bake in a preheated oven at 180c for about 15-18 minutes or until evenly browned.
