Double oats, Lebkuchen Gewürz secented cookies

Two oats, lebkuchen Gerwürz scented cookies My husband took last week a week and a half belated vacation; we resolve to stay at home to make some smalls improvements, once we will take real vacations on January. Yesterday we hosted some friends for a barbecue, so I bake these delicious oat cookies tasted with lebkuchen Gerwurz for the kid eats at afternoon, well, and grows too, they love it, and I confess they are the best oat cookies that I ever tasted. The traditional spice is sold ready made in packets I sold German’s mark Ostmann You can fashion your own concoction. I have a recipe for the spice. It will follow the cookie recipe. I know it is all metric but I use scales to measure baking ingredients so I have never converted them. I am sure there are conversion charts in many cookbooks or on line Two oats, lebkuchen Gewürz scented cookies • 2 sticks butter softned • 1 cup raw sugar cane (or moscabado sugar) • ½ cup white sugar • 2 eggs • 1 1/2 cup flour • 1 teaspoon salt • 1 tsp baking soda • 1 teaspoon Lebkuchen Gerwürz • 2 cups oat meal (I use Quaker Quick.) • 1 cup oat bran • 3/4 cup chopped walnuts Method 1 Cream butter and sugars add eggs and beat well. 2 Sift flour, salt, baking soda and Lebcuchen Gewürz. Add to first mixture and mix well. Add nuts. Add oats last. 3 Spoon out by rounded tablespoonfuls on to greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350°F. Bake for 10 minutes. Remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Lebkuchen Gerwürz 50g ground cinnamon 40g ground allspice 25g ground nutmeg 40g ground dried ginger 65g ground fennel 65g ground coriander 65g ground anise 20g ground clover 25 g cardamom Combine ingredients and store in cool dry location.
