Recipe: Savory Oatmeal Cookies

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment or Silpat.

Step 2

Place the oats in a large mixing bowl and sprinkle the water over them.

Step 3

In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, brown sugar, and egg. Pour this mixture over the oats, stir to combine, and set aside.

Step 4

In another mixing bowl, combine the flour, fine sea salt, baking soda, rosemary, and black pepper. Whisk to combine well. Stir in the Parmesan.

Step 5

Gradually sprinkle the flour mixture over the oat mixture, stirring until combined.

Step 6

Form tablespoon-sized scoops of dough and evenly space on the baking sheet. Flatten each piece of dough to about 1/4-inch thick. Use your hands to form an even disk. Sprinkle a pinch of salt on top of each.

Step 7

Bake for 15 to 17 minutes, until the edges are slightly darkened. Transfer to a cooling rack. Serve with soft cheese, or alone, stuffed into coat pockets, as a mid-day snack.
