Red Fife Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Red Fife wheat is a heritage grain that came to Canada in 1842. It's a versatile and flavourful flour that gives baked goods a hearty, nutty flavour. We mill the flour onsite at Abbey Gardens, which means more nutrients remain in the flour after milling. It also means it's less refined than commercial flour, so we recommend a 50/50 mixture during baking. Red Fife flour is available for sale at the Food Hub and makes for a delicious (and unique) addition to any recipe. This Oatmeal Raisin Cookie recipe is a Abbey Gardens classic, and we're excited to share it.
