These Indian spice tuna oatmeal raisin cookies are a delightful twist on the classic American dessert. The addition of Indian spices such as cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom add a warm and fragrant touch to these soft and chewy oatmeal cookies. The surprise element is, of course, the canned tuna which adds a healthy dose of protein. Here's how to make them:
Ingredients:
- 1 can tuna, drained
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1/2 cup raisins
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
Instructions:
-
Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C).
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine drained tuna, quick-cooking oats, and raisins. Mix well.
-
In a separate mixing bowl, cream together softened unsalted butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy.
-
Beat in the egg and add vanilla extract, ground cinnamon, ground cloves, ground cardamom, and salt. Mix well.
-
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until everything is well combined.
-
On a baking tray lined with parchment paper, use a spoon to drop small dollops of the cookie batter about 1 inch apart.
-
Bake for 12-15 minutes (or until the edges start to turn golden brown).
-
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking tray before transferring them to a wire rack.
-
Serve and enjoy!
These cookies are the perfect combination of sweet and savory. The tuna adds a subtle flavor that pairs perfectly with the cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. The raisins add a chewy texture that balances the soft and moist texture of the cookies.
