Looking for a sugar in the raw chocolate chip oatmeal cookie recipe? Delicious cookies are a perfect place to use the delicious flavor of sugar in the raw, also known as turbinado sugar. Turbinado sugar has coarse crystals and a light golden brown color. When raw sugar is processed, it is steam cleaned; there are no chemicals used in the preparation and it is an all-natural process. Turbinado sugar has a more molasses flavor than processed white cane sugar, but is appropriate for many baking recipes as well as sweetening beverages, cereals and other treats.

A premium Hawaiian sugar company markets their turbinado 100% pure cane sugar from Maui under the brand "Sugar in the Raw." It is available in individual packets, suitable for sweetening coffee or tea, as well as in bulk bags. Of course, if you are planning to make chocolate chip cookies, you'll want to buy your Sugar in the Raw in big bags!

The Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookie

The chocolate chip cookie may be the most beloved in the United States, but the chocolate chip oatmeal cookie is quickly growing in popularity. The addition of oatmeal gives the cookie a more interesting texture and a slightly nutty flavor. However, the biggest draw for many people are the health benefits that whole grain oats bring to the table. The high fiber in oats can help lower cholesterol, cleanse the colon and generally contribute to health and well-being. Now, that doesn't mean you can go and eat as many chocolate chip cookies as you want, even if they do have oatmeal and sugar in the raw; you still must practice restraint since they still have a fair amount of fat and empty calories.
