Mun Cookies - Lots of Flavor!

<<

My cousin Glenna from Winnipeg shared this traditional Jewish recipe for Mun Cookies with me – the addition of oatmeal gives these light, crispy cookies extra body and flavor.

Ingredients:

• 1 cup oil
• ¾ cup sugar
• 3 eggs
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• ½ tsp. baking soda
• 1 ¼ rolled oats
• ½ cup poppyseeds
• 2 ½ - 3 cups flour
• Extra sugar and oil, for sugar coating, if desired

Beat oil with sugar until blended. Add eggs one at a time, beating until smooth.

In a separate bowl,combine the rest of the ingredients and whisk together lightly.

Add dry ingredients, a bit at a time, to the egg mixture and mix by hand. Blend until a stiff dough is formed.

Divide dough into 3 pieces. You can freeze some of it for later use, if desired.

Using a floured rolling pin, roll out dough onto a floured board to 1/4 “ thickness and cut into circles or other desired shapes. If you want a sugar coating, dip cookies into oil and follow by dipping into sugar.

Bake cookies on cookie sheet using middle rack of oven for 10-15 minutes. Cookies should be golden brown and firm. Once cooled, store in a sealed container.

You can easily obtain a yield of 5 dozen cookies depending on their size.
