Decadent Dark Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
This decadent dark chocolate oatmeal cookie has been created and showcased in the Baker’s Journal 2007 recipe book to allow for indulgence in a delicious treat while keeping health in mind. This lab scale recipe utilizes food ingredients of Canadian origin to be trans fat free, low in saturated fat and a source of antioxidants, iron, fiber, Omega 3- DHA, and vitamin C. Since CoasunSA contains zero trans fats and is very low in saturates all of the allowed (Canadian) nutritional claims that are tied to saturated and trans fat content of the food can be made. The addition of Vinifera Cabernet Powder gives the cookies a slight fruity aftertaste complimenting the addition of apple sauce while supplying a good source of antioxidants, iron and fiber. Ocean Nutrition’s Meg-3TM encapsulated fish oil supplies the cookies with a rich source of Omega-3 DHA for heart and brain health. The dark chocolate provides the cookie with a fudgy flavor as well as a source of antioxidants, while the flaxseed meal and oats provide texture and fiber. CoasunSA requires half the amount of time as regular shortening during the creaming process and easily incorporates the dry ingredients and chocolate chips. It produces a cookie with a darker more chocolately appearance. The cookie can be described as moist, chewy and fudgy, compared to the cookie made with palm shortening which is dry, crumbly and lighter in colour.
