Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350˚F
• In the bowl of a food processor, pulse 1 cup old-fashioned oats until coarsely ground or "sandy" in texture
• Transfer to a medium mixing bowl and add all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour, the remaining ½ cup oats, salt, baking powder, baking soda, fennel seeds, ginger, cinnamon and cloves
• Whisk to combine

• In the bowl of a standing mixer, add the butter and, with the mixer running on low, add the sugars
• One at a time, with the mixer still on low, add in the eggs
• Increase the mixer speed to medium and beat until fluffy and pale, about 1 minute
• Reduce the speed to low and add the dry ingredients in small increments, about ½ cup at a time, until incorporated
• (It takes a while, but be patient
• ) Turn off the mixer once the dry ingredients are incorporated and the dough has formed
• Mix in the almonds and raisins using a large rubber spatula or clean hands
• Using a cookie scoop or large kitchen spoon, scoop the dough into large walnut-sized balls and arrange about 6 to 8 cookies each on a parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving a few inches between each cookie
• Bake cookies for 6 minutes, rotate the pan, and bake until cookies have spread and browned around the edges and risen slightly in the center, about 6 minutes more
• Remove the cookies from the oven and, while the cookies are still warm, drizzle with honey and sprinkle with fennel pollen and flaky sea salt

CLASSIC OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Butter two large cookie sheets, or line them with parchment paper or reusable silicone liners.
• Using an electric mixer, beat butter in a large bowl until creamy. Add brown and granulated sugars, then beat until fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in eggs, one at a time, until fully incorporated. Then, beat in vanilla extract.
• In a separate bowl, use a wooden spoon or spatula to mix together the flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and cardamom. Set mixer on low speed, and beat flour mixture into the butter mixture. Stir in oats and raisins.
• Spoon out dough by large tablespoonfuls onto prepared cookie sheets, leaving at least 2 inches between each cookie.
• Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, about 9 to 13 minutes. Centers will still be quite soft, but they will firm up as the cookies cool. Cool completely on a wire rack. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

OATMEAL COOKIE PANCAKES

Steps:

• Mix dry ingredients, the first 7, in a bowl. In a another bowl, mix the wet ingredients, the next 4. Whisk the wet ingredients into the dry until just combined, then fold in the mashed up bananas and the raisins. Stir in the melted butter.
• Heat a griddle over medium heat and brush with additional melted butter. Cook pancakes, each about 1/3 cup, until bubbles form on the top, then turn. Cakes will cook in about 2 minutes on each side. Keep pancakes tented with foil as they come off the griddle to keep them hot. Serve with drizzled honey or maple syrup over the top.

OATMEAL RAISIN WALNUT COOKIE SANDWICHES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees with racks in the upper and lower thirds. Line two large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
• For the cookies: Toss the raisins in the warm rum or water and let soak at least 10 minutes then drain.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Beat the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar together in a large bowl with an electric mixer until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs and then the vanilla. Add the flour mixture and beat until just incorporated. Stir in the oats, walnuts and the drained raisins.
• Scoop rounded tablespoons of the batter onto the prepared baking sheets, about 2-inches apart. Bake, rotating the position of the pans halfway through, until golden brown around the edges, about 14 minutes. Cool on the pan for 5 minutes then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• For the filling: Add the cream cheese and butter to a large bowl. Use a hand mixer to cream them together. Gradually add the powdered sugar, while mixing, scraping down the bowl as necessary. Once incorporated, add the vanilla and beat to incorporate. Fold in the shredded coconut by hand.
• To assemble cookie sandwiches: Scoop a tablespoon of filling onto the flat side of a cookie. Take another cookie and place it on top of the filling, flat side-down, to create a sandwich. Continue with the remaining cookies and filling. Wrap and refrigerate until ready to serve.
