This delicious recipe is from our friend Meghan Curry over at Bug Vivant.
Old-fashioned Oatmeal Cricket Cookies
Ingredients
1 3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 cup cricket powder
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter softened
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
Directions
- Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease baking sheets. Stir together oats, flour, cricket flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl until light and fluffy.
- Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined well.
- Add oat mixture and beat until just combined.
- Drop dough by heaping tablespoons 2 inches apart onto baking sheets and flatten mounds slightly with moistened fingers. *Dont use parchment paper, it will cause the cookies bottoms to brown prematurely.
- Bake cookies in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, about 8 – 9 minutes total. Transfer to racks to cool.
Makes 2 dozen cookies.
