My coach is hitting the road, and will meet us in San Diego later on this week. We send him off with treats and snacks for the trip.

At the request of the coach’s sister, I am attempting a ‘healthy’ cookie here … oatmeal raisin. Made mostly from organic ingredients, I also slightly lowered the sugar content which one can hardly notice. Fresh out of the oven, there is a ‘cake-like’ texture to the small bite, which perhaps is due to the whole wheat flour / white flour combo I used. After they had cooled the cookie hardened slightly, making it a bit crunchier, though not exactly “hard”. My taste-tester, the husband, apparently “doesn’t eat cookies with raisins”. But I thought they came out pretty tasty.

I baked half the batch and put the rest of the dough in the fridge to bake tomorrow. Keep these suckers as fresh as possible for the road trip.
