I had a craving the other day for some good hearty Oatmeal cookies. I looked through many a book and blog weighing the options, and decided on the Molasses Oatmeal cookies from my much loved Sunburst Family Farm Cookbook. To make them even a little heartier and healthier, I used one cup Bob's Red Mill 5 Grain mix to replace a cup of oats. It has five different whole grains in it, so it added a nice chew to the cookie. Then to counter that I added sweetened coconut and chocolate chips to make the cookies a little naughty.
These were very soft and a bit too cakey for my preference, so next time I think I would melt the butter rather than creaming it.

These look so good! My kiddo is in love with soft and cakey cookies (maybe because there's always a wiggly tooth in his mouth :), so I will definitively give them a try. Thanks for the recipe!
