Oatmeal sour dough cookies

Ingredients:

1 cup butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
2 whole eggs - (add one at a time)
3 tablespoon honey
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup sour dough starter - (link toward the bottom of the page)
2 - 2 1/4 cups flour - (all-purpose)
1 teaspoon salt
2 cups oatmeal - (I use quick)
1 teaspoon nutmeg
3 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup cranberries, dried
1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional)

1 cup flake coconut

 

*note: you can omit any of the last 4 ingredients and still have a very tasty cookie.

 

Directions:

Preheat oven to 375° F.

I use a counter-top mixer, like kitchen aid.

In a large mixing bowl, use a hand-held mixer to cream the butter and sugar until the mixture becomes light and fluffy.

Add in the ingredients, one at a time, in the medium mixing bowl and mix well, adding sour dough starter last.

Combine the flour, salt, oatmeal, nutmeg and cinnamon and add to the cookie batter. Mix thoroughly.

Add the remaining ingredients, one at a time to the batter and mix until just combined.

Drop generous tablespoons of the cookie dough onto a lined cookie sheet. Press the tops of the dough to flatten slightly.

Bake 10-13 minutes. Cool on wire rack.

I use any milk I have on hand at the time and haven't had a bad batch,
I've used coconut milk or heavy cream, to make starter. Both very tasty.
