THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



Thin and Crispy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

I tried to combine recipes to come up with a cookie that tastes like Tate's Bake Shop cookies. The published Tate's recipe on YouTube does not taste like the cookies you buy in the store in the green bag. This is the closest I've come to simulating the oatmeal raisin flavor. This is not a thick cakey cookie but a thin, crisp, lighter version.

Categories     Chocolate

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 c earth balance margarine
1/2 c packed brown sugar
1/3 c coconut sugar (or plain white sugar)
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp sea salt
1 large organic egg (at room temperature)
1 tsp vanilla extract
3/4 c spelt flour (or all purpose)
3/4 c rolled oats
1/4 c flax seed meal
1/4 c wheat germ
2-oz dark chocolate, finely chopped
1/4 c dried cranberries or currants
1/4 c chopped hazelnuts or walnuts, toasted

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat your oven to 350'F
  • 2. Using a large electric mixer, add the earth balance to the bowl and on medium high mix for 30 seconds. Add the brown sugar, coconut or plain sugar, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Beat until combined scraping the bowl as you go.
  • 3. Beat in the egg, vanilla until combined. Beat in the flour, and stir in the rolled oats, flax seed meal, wheat germ, chocolate, cranberries and walnuts. The dough will be sticky and thick.
  • 4. Drop by teaspoons onto an "UNGREASED" cookie sheet. I have a gold coloured one. It's very heavy but works like a charm as nothing sticks to it. Space the cookies 2" apart, they spread.
  • 5. Bake for 9-11 minutes (I did mine for 10). They should be lightly browned on the top. Let the cookies cool for a minute then transfer to a wire rack. Makes around 3 dozen crispy cookies. Enjoy!

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Cookie Recipes

Time 25m

Yield Makes 24

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 tablespoons softened unsalted butter
3 tablespoons sugar
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/4 teaspoon salt
2/3 cup rolled oats

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees; line two baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, mix butter, sugar, flour, vanilla extract, and salt until smooth; mix in rolled oats.
  • Drop firmly packed teaspoons of dough, 2 inches apart, onto baking sheets. Bake until golden,rotating sheets halfway through, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on sheet 1 minute; with a very thin metal spatula, transfer to paper towels to cool completely.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier cookie.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can use a blender to grind the oats into flour.
  • Be sure to chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.

Conclusion:

These healthy crispy oatmeal cookies are a delicious and nutritious snack or breakfast option. They are made with whole oats, natural sweeteners, and healthy fats, so you can feel good about eating them. The cookies are also gluten-free and vegan, making them a great option for people with dietary restrictions.
