Ingredients
- Cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1/2 cup honey
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup smooth unsalted almond butter
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/4 cup nonfat dry milk
- 1 cup whole-wheat pastry flour (or 1/2 cup each all-purpose and whole-wheat flour)
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 3/4 cups rolled oats

Directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mist 2 baking sheets with cooking spray. Beat the butter, canola oil, honey, egg, almond butter and vanilla extract in a large bowl with a mixer until combined.
In another bowl, whisk the dry milk, flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the oats and raisins.
Scoop tablespoonfuls of batter about 2 inches apart onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. Let the cookies cool 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Store in a loosely covered container for up to 3 days.

I changed out the butter and oil for coconut oil. And the dried milk for 1/4 cup 2% wet milk which I added in at the end. Then I baked for the recommended 12 minutes and they came out just fine. For those with a sweet tooth you might want to add more raisins or more honey but for me (a Brit they were lovely. And with no unhealthy fats or sugar and oats and raisins I reckon they're about as healthy as a cookie can be.

I cooked the first batch for the specified 12 minutes but I found that this was too long and the cookies were very dry. I only baked the following batches for 10 minutes and they came out chewy and moist. The flavor was intriguing. You would never guess that this recipe was modified to be more healthful. Even the kids liked them and as they say, you can't fool children. I would advise removing the cookies after 10 minutes, though.
