Biscoaties

These are twice baked cookies like Biscotti but with the taste and texture of the European type cookie that one gets on many airlines, called Biscoff. They go well with coffee or tea. I wanted to make them as healthy as possible but sometimes that's just not possible! Note to self: Do not make these often!

2/3 cup all- purpose flour
1/3 cup oat bran
½ cup Durum wheat flour
½ cup Arrowroot flour
1/2 tbsp ground cinnamon
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
1/4 tsp ground coriander
1/4 tsp ground allspice
1/4 tsp ground cloves
Pinch of black pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 cup butter
1/ 2 cup shortening
1/3 cup granulated sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 tsp vanilla extract
1 tsp vinegar
½ cup non-fat, Greek style yogurt
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees
  2. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine flours, oat bran, spices, salt and baking soda.
  4. In mixer bowl cream butter, sugar and brown sugar together on low
  5. Add vanilla extract and vinegar
  6. Slowly add flours, oat bran, spices, salt & baking soda & beat until well combined, then add the yogurt and mix until dough comes together.
  7. Pinch off golf ball size pieces of the dough. Roll into a ball and then press down using the middle three fingers of your hand until the dough comes up between them. Spread about 1 inch apart as the cookies do flatten and spread.
  8. Transfer to baking sheet lined with parchment paper, placing approximately 1" apart
  9. Bake in preheated oven for 13-16 minutes
  10. Remove from oven and cool for 15 minutes. Put back in oven for another hour and fifteen minutes at 275 degrees Fahrenheit, and the cookies are a golden brown color. Remove and cool cookies on wire rack. Store in airtight container.
