1 large egg
2 tsp. pure vanilla extract
½ tsp. sea salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
¼ tsp. ground cloves
1 cup old fashioned oats
1 ½ cups whole grain flour
1 cups white whole wheat or oat flour

Directions
Cream butter and sugar well, then beat in egg. Add vanilla, salt, spices, and baking powder. Stir in oats and flour. Add chopped chocolate if desired. Divide into three balls and wrap each in plastic wrap. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

Heat oven to 350 F. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray. Roll out each dough disk to 1/4 inch or so thickness on a floured surface and cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters. Place close together on cookie sheet and bake for 10 - 15 minutes, until they are as crispy as you like!
