I was baking cookies today and I thought I should share the recipe. Maybe you would too.
I call these Trashcan cookies. Its a highly modified Oatmeal Scotchies recipe I use.
Recipe for Trashcan cookies. You would think they would be dense. They are not.
This is for a double batch which produces 24 two ounce cookies.
Wet ingredients
2 eggs
½ cup butter or margarine
½ cup coconut oil You can substitute a 1/2 cup of butter or margarine.
½ Brown sugar light or dark I use dark
1 regular sized granny smith apple pureed about a cup or so. You can substitute a 1/2 of brown or granulated sugar.
1 carrot fine grated or pureed should be about a cup. You can substitute a 1/2 of brown or granulated sugar.
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon butter extract
Put into mixer and cream for about 5 minutes
Dry ingredients
2 cups rolled old fashioned oats
½ cup hulled hemp seed. You can substitute rolled oats for this.
½ cup hemp seed flax seed and chia seed mix. You can substitute rolled oats for this.
1 ½ cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons cinnamon
¾ teaspoon nutmeg
A dash of ground cloves
1 ½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
½ cup dried coconut
½ cup sliced almonds
½ cup butterscotch chips
½ cup dark chocolate chips
½ cup semi sweet chips
Garnish
Turbinado sugar crystals apply before baking optional
Combine dry ingredients except the chips with wet in mixercombine well. Then finish mixing with chips.
Method 1 make two ounce balls and refrigerate them till dough is firm.
Method 2 make a log with wax paper and or a sushi rollingmat and then refrigerate till dough is firm.
Heat oven to 375 and use a parchment paper lined sheet or a silicone mat.
Take the ball place them on sheet and smash to about ¾ inchthick or a little less. 8 cookies should fit on the sheet 2 rows 4 each.
If using log slice into 2 ounce pieces and make about ¾ inchthick or a little less.
Bake for about 11 minutes or so. Look for a nice golden brown. Pull and rack. Cookie should have a slight crisp on the outside, be soft on the inside, and have a slight chew.
Bon appetit. This recipe is very flexible and modifiable so dont be afraid to experiment. I made this cookie to for something that would satisfy my sweet tooth without all the normal sugars and fats and to be more nutritious without tasting it. I also noted some substitutions. I tend to like a less sweet cookie which is why both carrot and apple are in the recipe but sugar can be substituted in place for one or the other or both as I not in the ingredients. Have fun. :cheers:
My first batch of the day. Notice a couple are missing for quality control of course.

It is highly recommended to have a sized dishing scoop or a kitchen scale for portioning these out. I use a scale as its more accurate and precise.
