OATMEAL COOKIE RECIPE



Oatmeal Cookie Recipe image

Provided by Shiran

Time 27m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 cup (100 g/3.5 oz.) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg (, optional)
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup (1 stick/115 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup (100 g/3.5 oz.) light brown sugar (dark is fine, too)
1/4 cup (50 g/1.7 oz.) granulated sugar
1 large egg (, at room temperature)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 and 1/4 cups ((120 g/4.3 oz.) old-fashioned/rolled oats)
1-2 cups add-ins ((see note for options))

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
  • In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy. Beat in the egg until combined, then beat in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Don't over mix. Add in oatmeal and all other add-ins, and keep mixing on low just until combined. The less you mix, the softer the cookies will be. Dough will be sticky and soft at this point, so I highly recommend chilling it for at least 30-60 minutes. Cover and place in the fridge.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line pan with parchment paper and set aside.
  • Drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, the size of 2 tablespoons each, and spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies just begin to brown at the edges and center is still soft. Cookies will appear undone and moist in the center, but will continue to bake on the warm baking sheet. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
  • Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, leave on counter, still covered, or overnight in the fridge.

CHEWY OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIES



Chewy Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies image

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 40m

Yield 1 dozen cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/4 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 stick unsalted butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
2 tablespoons molasses
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Combine the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking powder and salt in a large bowl. Beat the butter, sugar and molasses in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 5 minutes. Beat in the egg and vanilla until smooth, about 2 more minutes. Reduce the mixer speed to low, add the flour mixture and beat until combined. Stir in the raisins by hand. For the best flavor and texture, cover the dough and chill at least 4 hours, or overnight.
  • Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Form the dough into 12 balls, about 2 tablespoonfuls each, and arrange 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten with the back of a fork. Bake until the cookies are golden, 15 to 17 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. They provide a chewier texture than quick-cooking or instant oats.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature (375°F) for a short amount of time (about 10-12 minutes). This will give the cookies a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the cookies from breaking.

Conclusion:

These chewy oatmeal cookies are the perfect comfort food. They're easy to make, delicious, and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. Whether you're looking for a quick snack or a sweet treat to serve at your next party, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're in the mood for something sweet, give this recipe a try!
