I think these originally came from Maida Heatter's fabulous cookie book. I usually make them at Christmas, but they're good any time.

Time 1h

Yield 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup raisins
2 cups flour (sifted, all-purpose)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon (ground)
1/2 teaspoon clove (ground)
1/2 teaspoon allspice (ground)
1/2 lb butter
1 cup sugar
3 eggs
1/2 cup dates (pitted, coarsely chopped)
2 cups old fashioned oats (old-fashioned, not instant)
1/3 cup water
6 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips (semisweet)
4 ounces pecans (broken into pieces)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 400. Cover two cookie sheets with aluminum foil, shiny side up.
  • Place raisins in small saucepan. Cover with boiling water and let simmer for 5 minutes. Drain raisins in strainer and reserve 1/3 cup of the water.
  • Sift together flour, salt, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice.
  • In large bowl of electric mixer, cream the butter. Add sugar and beat well. Add the eggs one at a time, and beat until smooth after each addition. Add the dates and drained raisins, and beat just to mix. Beat in oatmeal. Gradually beat in reserve 1/3 cup of raisin water.
  • On low speed, slowly add sifted dry ingredients, scraping bowl with rubber spatula and beating only until mixed. By hand, stir in the pecan pieces and chocolate chips. Dough may be stiff.
  • Place dough by heaping teaspoonfuls on foil, about 2" apart. If you like, you can place a pecan half on top of each cookie for decoration (pecan halves are not included in the ingredients listed above.).
  • Bake 12-14 minutes, or until cookies are golden brown. Cool.

Tips:

  • For chewier cookies, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you don't have rolled oats, you can use quick oats, but the cookies will be a bit softer.
  • To make the cookies even more flavorful, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or almond extract to the dough.
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to measure out the dough.
  • Be sure to space the cookies out evenly on the baking sheet so that they have room to spread.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges but still soft in the center.

Conclusion:

German oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for breakfast, lunch, or a snack. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and nutty crunch, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give these German oatmeal cookies a try!
