SUPER-MOIST NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE AND OATMEAL COOKIES



Super-Moist No-Bake Chocolate and Oatmeal Cookies image

I love these cookies! The only problem I have encountered in the past with making these, is that they seem to fall apart due to dryness. Adding more milk and less oatmeal (as this recipe directs), takes care of that problem.

1 Tbsp cinnamon
1 c nuts (pecans or walnuts)
1 c plump raisins
1 c butter (2 sticks)
4 large eggs (room temperature)
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla extract ( i used mexican vanilla)
1 c shredded coconut (unsweetened if available)

Steps:

  • 1. PREHEAT OVEN TO 350 DEGREES F. Spray or grease a cookie sheet & set aside till needed. In a medium size bowl Add both flours, oat meal,salt, baking soda & cinnamon, stir together & set aside till needed. Add Raisins to large bowl or cup, cover with water, and heat in microwave for 5 minutes. Then allow to cool, drain water before adding to cookie batter.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl with paddle attachment, add the softened butter, pudding mix, apple sauce and firmly packed brown sugar, then beat till creamy, light & fluffy. Add eggs one at a time beating well after each addition & vanilla extract.
  • 3. Gradually add the flour mixture a little at a time, till all is incorporated. Then remove paddle and add the nuts, raisins, coconut, and mix with a large spoon just till blended.

Or slightly shape tablespoon full of dough by hand before adding to pan, and Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 10 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to sit on cookie sheet for 2 to 3 minutes then place on a cooling wire rack.
  • 5. Notes: This was the first time I used the Mexican Vanilla, I like it, and it is just my opinion, but I do not think it is as strong as the Madagascar Bourbon Vanilla. It seems a bit more potent than the Mexican Variety. But it is still good in quality. I beleive the Sugar Free Apple sauce and Pudding mix aided in making these cookies so moist. I can't wait for my husband to get home and try them. I love the extra crunch added by the nuts. I really beleive you will REALLY LOVE THESE.I added the addition of coconut, applesauce,& Instant pudding mix as well as the coconut flour to add extra fiber & moisture to this recipe that the original did not have.

Categories     Cookies     Dessert     Bake     Quick & Easy

Yield Makes 5 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 1/4 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1 c. butter softened
1/4 c. granulated sugar
3/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 pkg. (4 serving size)Jell-o brand instant vanilla flavor pudding and pie filling
2 eggs
3 1/2 c. quick cooking rolled oats

Steps:

  • Mix flour with baking soda. Combine butter and the sugars and pudding mix in a large mixing bowl and beat until smooth and creamy. Beat in the eggs. Gradually add flour mixture and then stir in the oats. The mixture will be stiff. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart and bake at 375* for 10-12 minutes.

Tips:

  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature: This helps create a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Add mix-ins: Oatmeal cookies are delicious on their own, but you can also add mix-ins like raisins, nuts, or chocolate chips to make them even more flavorful.

Oatmeal cookies are a classic treat that are easy to make and loved by people of all ages. By following the tips above, you can make moist, chewy oatmeal cookies that will be a hit with your family and friends. So next time you're craving a sweet snack, give this recipe a try.
