Spelt Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I kinda copied the recipe incorrectly on this one too, so this was an experiment of sorts! It turned out well though and was pretty well-received. Keep in mind though that I took out most of the sugar, so if you’re a fan of sweeter things, you’ll probably want to add it back. This was Part II of my desserts for the fundraiser! I think if I could do it over, we should have had milk and coffee for people. :O We unfortunately didn’t think of that until the event had already started though. Oh well, you live and learn! I think the people who came had a good time. :]

We’ll be doing a soup one (Souperbowl!) in early-ish February though, and I’m hoping to do a main-dish/savory one somewhere later on during the year. :D Food fundraisers are pretty much my favorite types of fundraisers. It’s a win for everyone!

Anyway, the recipe was adapted from here. I was originally going to sub the shortening with coconut oil, but I decided to try leaving them out. I also forgot to bring eggs with me, so I uh, left those out too. The result is a cookie with a more cake-like consistency. They were really good (especially when warm)!
