Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup loosely packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup honey-roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and light, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth. Scrape down the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until combined. Add the oats and mix just until combined.
  • Combine the dried cranberries, chocolate chips and peanuts in a small bowl. Add all but a few tablespoons of the cranberry mixture to the dough and mix just until combined. Refrigerate the dough until slightly firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Turn out the dough onto the baking sheet. Press into a 9-inch round, about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the top with the reserved dried cranberry mixture and press to adhere. Bake until the cookie is crisp and golden around the edges and set in the center, 22 to 24 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the cookie cool completely on the pan. Cut into wedges.

BIG GIANT OATMEAL COOKIE



Big Giant Oatmeal Cookie image

Makes a perfect, single GIANT Oatmeal cookie! As written, this is an Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookie, but if you want a Giant Oatmeal Raisin Cookie, see the notes below!

Provided by Sara Wells

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 tablespoons butter, melted (*see note in instructions before melting)
1/4 cup lightly packed dark brown sugar (light brown sugar will work just fine too)
2 tablespoons white sugar
1 egg yolk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 cup all purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup quick cooking oats*
1/2 cup chocolate chips
*I was out of quick cooking oats and used old fashioned rolled oats and it was delicious ????

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment.
  • Melt your butter in a heat-safe mixing bowl. Note: It doesn't need to be ALL the way. See photos for an example- I've found the best stage is when about half the butter is liquid, but the rest is super soft. Like the texture of pudding. You want it to easily stir completely smooth when you touch it.
  • truction-step-3″>2. Mix in brown sugar, white sugar, egg yolk and vanilla.
  • truction-step-4″>3. Measure your flour by spooning lightly into your measuring cup and then leveling with a knife. Sprinkle flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt on top and then mix together. Stir in oats and chocolate chips. (Or raisins, if you are using those, instead)
  • uction-step-5″>4. Form dough into one large ball and place on prepared baking sheet. Gently press down to about 3/4 inch thick. I like to press a few additional chocolate chips into the top of the dough before baking.
  • tion-step-6″>5. Note: All ovens cook differently and baking time will vary depending on how much you press your cookie down. Set a timer for 10 minutes so you can keep a close watch for the remainder of the baking time. Bake for 11-14 minutes, until edges are set and center looks set, but still soft. Let cool for 10-15 minutes before using an extra large spatula to transfer to a cooling rack.

Cherry-oatmeal cookies are a nice twist on a classic. Serve these at your next gathering, or make a batch and slip one into your loved one's lunch bag.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Yield Makes about 4 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened, or 1 cup apple butter (a healthier alternative)
1 cup packed light-brown sugar
1/4 cup honey
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
3 cups Quaker Old-Fashioned Rolled Oats
1 cup dried cherries

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt; set aside. Place butter, sugar, and honey in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat to combine. With the mixer on low, gradually add reserved flour mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in oats and cherries.
  • Drop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats: This will give your cookies a chewier texture.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will make your cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown: This will ensure that they are cooked through.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving: This will allow the flavors to develop and the cookies to firm up.

Conclusion:

These giant cherry oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy with a sweet and tart flavor that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy dessert, give these cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
