Abby’s ultimate S.M.A.R.T. Cookie Base
Version # 3: Chewy Double Chocolate Chip & Oatmeal Raisin
Abby’s ultimate S.M.A.R.T. Cookie Base Chewy Double Chocolate Chip & Oatmeal Raisin has been a family favourite with adults and kids for many years. The versatility of being able to make such a large variety of cookies, that are not only allergen-free but nutritious is why, my daughter now 14 and I, have been baking with S.M.A.R.T. Blend for more than 12 years.
By: Holistic Nutritionist Peter de Hoog from Peetz
My daughter and I suffer from a leaky gut, which creates hers and my food intolerances and sensitivities, and forced me to eat allergen and sugar-free.
North America has been saturated with corn, soy and wheat, for the last 60 years. These allergens have all been altered by science; either stripped, processed, refined, bleached, modified, genetically modified or enriched with 8 synthetic vitamins and minerals.
The gluten-free alternatives are nutritionally void starchy rice surprises, consisting mostly of corn, potato and modified starches along with white or sweet rice.
We are healthiest and strongest when we are closest to nature. This could not be truer than with food. Nature designed us to absorb her bounty, NOT synthetic vitamins and minerals created in a laboratory.
Starch, along with more starch provides NO nutritional value, and is absorbed in the body as sugar. This is the reason gluten-free has the reputation of having the taste, texture and nutrition profile of a bio-degradable packing peanut, starch is heavy and sits in our stomachs like a brick.
S.M.A.R.T. Blend
(Sorghum, Millet, Arrowroot, brown Rice, Tapioca)
is the first 60% Superfood & Ancient Whole Grain all-purpose flour that is naturally allergen-free, subsequently gluten-free with NO Corn, Soy, Casein (Dairy), Nuts, Peanuts, Legumes or Pulses.
Surprisingly low in starch with NO potato, corn, or modified starches, white or sweet rice.
S.M.A.R.T. Blend
(Sorghum, Millet, Arrowroot, brown Rice, Tapioca)
is the first nutritious blend of 60% superfoods & ancient whole grains that naturally nourish the body with more than 15 essential nutrients, digestible vitamins and minerals that provide over 5% of DV for B6, thiamin, niacin and manganese, and has 2g of fibre per 30g serving. Easy to digest because they come from food, not a science lab.

Add the following to make Oatmeal Raisin

Wet Ingredients

- Blend the dry together In the bowl of a stand mixer, fitted with a paddle attachment, blend on low speed for 2 to 5 minutes while preparing the wet ingredients. This step adds lightness, by adding air to the dry ingredients.
- Set aside the dry ingredients in a large bowl and prepare the wet.
- Whisk together wet; fat, sugar, eggs and vanilla, in the bowl of the stand mixer, fitted with the whisk attachment for 1 min.
- Once the wet is ready, switch to the paddle attachment, on low-speed slowly add the sifted, well-blended dry to the wet, and blend until lumpy batter forms.
- Once the dry is well incorporated, mix on medium to high for 2 Mins
- Split the batch in two, to make the two suggested flavours above or mix in the flavour you would like to freeze for next time.
- You can also double up the extra ingredients and just make the whole batch your favourite flavour.
- Using two tablespoons, portion out 12 or 24 balls of dough. Depending on if you decided to freeze half the batch. Press or pat them down on the prepared cookie sheets.
- My daughter and I prefer different cookie textures. She prefers more soft and chewy and I prefer a crispier outside with some chewiness in the center. Baking Instructions: 350 °F Convection: 12 to 15 Minutes Standard: 15 to 18 Minutes
- Let the cookies set and cool on the cookie sheets, before transferring to a storage container.
