Chewy Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies Recipe
"This Chewy Oatmeal and Raisin Cookies recipe aims at retaining high moisture and thus yelds about 20-22 perfectly chewy, flavorful cookies your family will love, every time. In this recipe 1/3 of the flour is substitute with a finely grated carrot to lighten the calories count, while simultaneously boosting its good-for-you fiber content. Baking tip: Don’t be afraid of using regular rolled oats. Rolled oats are made of whole grains of oats that are steamed to make them soft and pliable, and then pressed to flatten them.The moisture from an egg and butter in this recipe is enough to “feed” rolled oats, and there is no need to opt for an instant or quick-cooking oats. Instant oats are the most processed. These are oats that are pre-cooked, dried, then rolled, and pressed thinner than rolled oats."
