Cookie dough
- one cup and a half whole grain flour
- half cup vegetable oil
- one egg
- three quarters cup turbinado/raw sugar
- half teaspoon baking soda
- one tablespoon cinnamon
- one teaspoon vanilla extract
Coating
- quarter cup turbinado/raw sugar
- generous sprinkle of cinnamon
// THE DETAILS
Prep oven at 400F. Combine all ingredients in large mixing bowl until texture is even. Roll into quarter sized balls, and press them into sugar/cinnamon mixture to create a nice, even coating. Place evenly on cookie sheet and bake for about 15 minutes for chewy cookies, 20 minutes for crunchy.
We like 'em crunchy over here. Yum!

I like to think of myself as a lazy gourmet. It's really common for me to use boxed mixes (cakes, muffins, scones) and add my own little touches to them. That way they taste a little more.. well, gourmet.Usually it's as simple as adding vanilla extract, crushed nuts or cinnamon. I didn't have the energy to attempt this delicacy on the fourth of July, despite the fact that it would have been completely appropriate.. Oops. But I think cherry pie is appropriate for any time, holiday or not.
The only little tweak I made to this recipe was that I added about a quarter of a cup of graham cracker crumbs and a generous sprinkle of cinnamon to the pie crust. I have boxes and boxes of graham cracker crumbs. I like to add a scoop to pancake batter, too. Gives it more oompf.
Then I used my trusty little star cookie cutter to make the top crust, and sprinkled it all with raw sugar. Yum!
