Instructions
-
Whisk both flours, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and nutmeg in a medium bowl. Using an electric mixer, beat butter and both sugars on high speed until light and creamy, 2-3 minutes. Add eggs one at a time, beating to blend and scraping down bowl between additions. Beat in vanilla.
-
Reduce speed to low. Gradually add dry ingredients; mix just to combine. Fold in oats and raisins.
-
Divide dough between 2 large sheets of parchment paper. Using paper as an aid, roll up each piece of dough into a 1 1/2" diameter log. Wrap in plastic; freeze for at least 4 hours and up to 3 weeks.
-
Preheat oven to 350��F. Unwrap dough and cut into 1/2"-thick rounds (return unused dough to freezer); place 2" apart on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.
-
Bake cookies until edges are golden brown, 15-18 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack; let cool.
-
DO AHEAD: Cookies can be baked 2 days ahead. Store airtight at room temperature.
Why this Slice-and-Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookies works for PCOS
Eating a substantial breakfast like this Slice-and-Bake Oatmeal Raisin Cookies is one of the highest-leverage moves you can make for PCOS. In the Jakubowicz et al. 2013 trial published in Clinical Science, women with PCOS who front-loaded calories to breakfast reduced fasting insulin by 56% and increased ovulation rates 50%, with no change in total calories. Front-loading works because insulin sensitivity is highest in the morning and lowest at night.
