OATMEAL AND RAISIN SPICE COOKIE BARS



Oatmeal and Raisin Spice Cookie Bars image

These can be made into individual cookies but seem easier baked in a pan and then cut. Substitute dried cranberries or dried chopped apricots if you like. They are very thin bars. From Simply Heartsmart by Bonnie Stern.

Time 30m

Yield 30 bars, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup soft margarine or 1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup white sugar
1 egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon allspice
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1 1/2 cups rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Brush a 13 x 9 inch baking dish with oil, then line with parchment paper or foil, pressing paper down firmly so it stays. Leave a slight overhang of paper.
  • In mixing bowl cream the margarine or butter until light. Add the sugars and beat until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla and mix in well.
  • In a separate bowl mix the flour, baking powder, cinnamon, allspice and ginger. Mix into the batter, then stir in the oatmeal and raisins.
  • Press dough evenly into the lined baking pan. (This is the messy part.) The dough will be a bit sticky and there will seem to be almost not enough to fill the pan.
  • Bake in a pre-heated 350 degree oven for 15 to 18 minutes, until golden. Bake a bit less for chewier bars, a bit more for crispy bars.
  • Let cool for 3 or 4 minutes, then lift gently out of the pan. Cool a couple more minutes, cut into squares, then cool fully.

OATMEAL COOKIE BARS



Oatmeal Cookie Bars image

These are easily the best homemade oatmeal cookie bars we've ever had, and that's really saying something! This recipe is simple to make and has all the essentials - chopped nuts, chocolate chips, high quality Gold Medal™ flour, and whole-grain oats. We love the ease of making oatmeal cookie bars because they have the chewy texture and flavor of an oatmeal cookie, but they take only 10 minutes to prep and use only one pan in the oven. Add extra indulgence by drizzling a little melted chocolate over these once they are cool and before you cut out the bars.

3/4 cup chopped nuts
1 bag (12 oz) semisweet chocolate chips (2 cups)

Tips:

  • Use fresh or dried oatmeal: If using dried oatmeal, be sure to toast it in a skillet over medium heat for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly, until it is golden brown and fragrant. This will enhance the flavor of the cookies.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing will result in tough cookies. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown: The centers of the cookies should still be slightly soft when you remove them from the oven. They will continue to cook as they cool.
  • Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days: You can also freeze the cookies for up to 2 months.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal and raisin spice cookie bars are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a quick snack or dessert. With their chewy texture, sweet and spicy flavor, and the addition of raisins, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone. So next time you are looking for a simple and satisfying treat, give these oatmeal and raisin spice cookie bars a try. You won't be disappointed!
