Yoga Cookies

Yoga Cookies – adapted from the Yoga Cookbook
3 cups rolled oats
¾ cup spelt or whole wheat flour
¾ cup brown sugar
1/3 cup raisins
1/3 cup raw sunflower seeds
1/3 cup ground flax seed
1 ½ tsp ground cinnamon
1 ½ tsp ground ginger
½ tsp ground nutmeg
½ tsp baking powder
¾ cup light tasting oil such as organic sunflower oil
About ½ cup – ¾ cup water
1. Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Combine all the dry ingredients in a large bowl, add the oil and mix thoroughly. Stir in water ¼ cup at a time, just enough to make a dough that will hold together. Let sit for 2-3 minutes to absorb a bit of the water and make firmer dough.
2. With wet hands, form the dough into a ball, place and a baking sheet and flatten to a circle. Make 12 large or 18-24 smaller cookies
3. Bake for 15 minutes, until golden at the edges, cool on a wire rack. Watch them closely so they don’t burn, and make sure the oven is fully pre-heated before you put the cookies in the oven to bake
Note: you will have to keep rinsing and wetting your hands after forming about 2 cookies, or the dough will stick to your hands!
