Here is another recipe from my baking day.  You can check out a picture of most of the items here.  I made a few minor changes to this recipe according to what I had on hand.  You can check out there original recipe here.

• 1/2 cup organic butter
• 3/4 cup turbinado
• 3 eggs
• 1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
• 1/2 cup almond milk
• 2 cups rolled oats (quick cooking or regular – not instant)
• 1 1/2 cups chopped dates
• 1 apple cored and ran through the food processor
  

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream together the butter, turbinado, and eggs.
3. In a different bowl combine the flour through nutmeg.
4. Add the flour to the butter mixture alternating with the milk until it is all combined.
5. Stir in the oatmeal, apple and dates.
6. Drop by teaspoons onto a cookie sheet sprayed with cooking spray.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes or until slightly browned.
8. Immediately remove from pans onto a rack to cool.

Once thoroughly cooled line a sheet pan and put in the freezer to flash freeze for about 15-20 minutes.  Then put the cookies into a labeled freezer bags.

These came out so yummy!  I had to start freezing them quickly because everyone was scarfing them down.
