My friends are going on a road trip this weekend. You know, without me. Being short on funds, finding food on a road trip might be a tad difficult. Baking to the rescue. Sometimes baking can be healthy...or at least a [somewhat] nutritious replacement for food.
Enter oatmeal cookies. Well not JUST oatmeal.
Oatmeal-Raisin-Currant-Sesame Cookies.
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/oatmeal-raisin-cookies-i/detail.aspx + Replace half the raisins with dried currants. Add sesame to your personal taste. I just shook in the seeds, but you'll need at least a tablespoon. Sesame seeds, while high in fat, also add fiber, small amounts of calcium and totally delicious flavor to your cookies. I found that making one inch round balls and no bigger produced a bite-sized cookie with a crisp bottom perfect for snacking. Ms. T might call this "portion control".
