Simple, crispy, and good for you too — what more could you ask for? The oats add a special touch. Make sure to use old-fashioned rolled oats, not the quick- cooking kind.   Yields about 40 cookies

Ingredients

Main ingredients

  • 1/2 cup (1 stick) margarine, melted (use soy-free, if needed)

  • 1 and 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

  • 1 egg (at room temperature)

  • 2/3 cup brown sugar (can use raw cane sugar)

  • white chocolate, for drizzling (optional)

Directions

Make the Cookies

1.

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit (180 degrees Celsius).

2.

Combine flour, salt, baking powder, cinnamon, ginger, and sesame seeds, if using, in a small bowl, and set aside.

3.

Mix the melted margarine and rolled oats very well in a medium-sized bowl and set aside.

4.

Cream the egg and sugar in the bowl of your mixer. Add the flour mixture. Don’t overmix.

5.

Add the oats and margarine, and mix gently until it comes together as one dough.

6.

Using a spoon, scoop dough into balls one and a half inches in diameter and place on a lined baking sheet, leaving room for expansion. Bake for 8–10 minutes just until the cookies turn slightly golden. Be careful not to burn.

7.

Let cool and store in a tightly sealed container. If desired, melt white chocolate in a double boiler and drizzle on top of each cookie.

You’re asking a good question Esti. In general I would say no. Margarine holds up the cookies. But in her case, she melted the margarine, so I wonder if you can try it. I would do a drop less oil than margarine. See what the batter looks like and refrigerate it before you bake.
