Introduction

I couldn't wait to see what my home-rendered tallow would be like in baking (other than biscuits, which were DIVINE). These cookies perfectly blend sweet chocolate and graham crackers with the semi-savoury peanut butter and tallow, making chewy, grabbable treats for after school snacking!

Ingredients

    ¼ cup tallow
    3 tbsp smooth peanut butter or your favourite nut / seed butter
    ⅓ cup brown sugar
    1 tbsp sugar
    1 tbsp flaxseed
    ½ cup quick oats
    ¾ cup graham cracker crumbs
    ⅓ cup flour
    ¼ tsp baking soda
    Pinch nutmeg
    ¼ tsp salt (I used a butter-flavoured salt)
    1 tbsp vanilla
    ⅔ cup chocolate candy (i.e. chopped chocolate covered peanuts, chopped chocolate bars, M&Ms, Raisinets)

Directions

In a large pot, melt together the tallow, peanut butter, sugars and flaxseed, stirring often.
Add oats, graham crumbs, flour, baking soda, nutmeg, salt and vanilla and remove from heat. Stir well with a wooden spoon or sturdy spatula.
Cool 2 minutes, then stir in the chocolate candy.
Cover and chill 2 hours.
Heat the oven to 375 F and line baking sheets with parchment.
Scoop tablespoons of dough onto the sheets and bake for 12 minutes.
Cool on the sheets.
