Molasses Carob Chip Cookies - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup regular rolled oats
2/3 cup almonds
1/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup butter, room temperature
1/4 cup molasses
1/4 cup turbinado sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon baking soda

Add the butter, molasses, turbinado sugar, and egg to the mixing bowl with the nut mixture; beat ingredients together until well blended. Stir in baking soda, oats, whole wheat flour, coconut, and carob chips, and blend thoroughly. Drop by teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets.
