How to Make Lower My Cholesterol Oatmeal Cookies
1. Prepare the Oven
Preheat your oven to 175°C (350°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Mix the Dry Ingredients
In a large bowl, combine oats, whole wheat flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Stir until evenly mixed.
3. Whisk the Wet Ingredients
In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, honey (or maple syrup), egg, and vanilla until smooth.
4. Combine
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and stir just until combined. Fold in nuts and dried fruit if using. The dough will be soft and slightly sticky.
5. Shape the Cookies
Scoop about 1½ tablespoons of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet. Gently flatten each mound with the back of a spoon.
6. Bake
Bake for 10–12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden. The centers will remain soft.
7. Cool and Enjoy
Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
