Categories     Dessert

Time 23m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unbleached flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
14 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 3/4 sticks at room temp)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (old fashioned type no instant stuff)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F - you will need 3 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (again the parchment keeps the cookie from burning and makes clean up faster).
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
  • Beat together with mixer at low speed - butter and sugar until the sugar granules are not visible. Increase speed and beat 1 minute longer, scrape sides as needed and add egg, beat another 30 seconds. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time and incorporate well over med speed until mixture is smooth. Add oatmeal and stir into the dough using your rubber spatula.
  • Divide into 24 equal portions and bake for 13 to 16 minutes placing only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time and rotating the cookie sheet half way through your cooking time -- these are the best and the thinnest cookies and very crispy.

GRANDMA'S CLASSIC NO-BAKE COOKIES



Grandma's Classic No-Bake Cookies image

This is the first cookie I ever learned to make as a child. They're very delicious with the peanut butter and oatmeal. You can eat them fresh out of the pan in a bowl with a spoon, which is delicious with a glass of milk besides. This no-bake cookie recipe was my grandmother's, and my mother taught it to her children, and I will to mine. I hope you have as much fun making this either by yourself or with your children, as I did with my mom. Separate cookies with waxed paper if putting in a tin or baggie to prevent sticking.

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups white sugar
½ cup milk
½ cup unsalted butter
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 cups old-fashioned oats
½ cup peanut butter, or more to taste
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Combine sugar, milk, butter, and cocoa powder in a large saucepan over medium heat; bring to a boil. Cook and stir until butter is melted and mixture is smooth, 2 to 3 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. Old-fashioned oats have a chewier texture than quick oats or instant oats, which will give your cookies a more classic oatmeal cookie flavor and texture.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown. The cookies should be set in the center and have a slightly golden brown color.

Conclusion:

Grandma's Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies are a delicious and classic treat that is perfect for any occasion. These cookies are easy to make and can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and hint of cinnamon, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
