These cookies stir up memories of grandmother, a cozy kitchen
and a generous glass of milk.

1 cup (120g) unbleached flour, white
2 Tbsp (15g) orange peel, finely grated (or tangarine peel)
1/2 tsp (2g) baking soda
1/2 tsp (2g) baking powder

1/4 tsp (2g) salt
6 Tbsp (90mL) vegetable oil
1 cup (160g) brown sugar, packed
2 egg whites
1 tsp (5mL) vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
Spray several baking sheets with vegetable oil spray and put aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together oats, flour, orange peel, baking soda,
baking powder, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt. Set aside.
In a large mixing bowl with the mixer set on medium speed, beat
