BLACK WALNUT OATMEAL COOKIES

I got this recipe from my daughter, Amy Herald, another one of the great cooks here on JAP. I modified it slightly by the addition of black walnut flavoring and black walnuts and omitting the raisins because I didn't have any. The result was an outstanding soft cookie that's not too sweet and perfect for the cooler Fall days...

1/2 can(s) sugar
1 1/4 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1 Tbsp baking soda
pinch salt

1 c raisins

  • 2. Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart unto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Cool 1 minute then transfer to wire racks until cool.

Tips:

  • Toast the walnuts: Toasting the walnuts in a single layer in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 5-7 minutes enhances their flavor and makes them more fragrant. Keep an eye on them to prevent burning.
  • Use room temperature butter: Room temperature butter incorporates more air when creamed with sugar, resulting in a lighter and fluffier cookie. For best results, leave the butter out at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are well combined. If you overmix, the cookies may spread too much in the oven.
  • Chill the dough: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and spread less in the oven. This step is especially important if you live in a warm climate.
  • Use a baking sheet with a silicone mat: A silicone mat prevents the cookies from sticking to the baking sheet and makes cleanup a breeze.
  • Bake the cookies in a preheated oven: A preheated oven ensures that the cookies bake evenly. Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) for at least 10 minutes before baking.
  • Let the cookies cool before eating: Allow the cookies to cool for a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This helps the cookies set and prevents them from falling apart.
