OATMEAL SANDWICH COOKIES



Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies image

Forget all the bad, soggy oatmeal cookies you've ever had in your life. Picture instead a moist-centered, butterscotch-imbued, crisp-edged cookie flecked with nubby oats. Add to this the fragrant nuttiness of toasted coconut. Then subtract any chewy raisins that may have accidentally wandered into the picture, and substitute sweet, soft dates, guaranteed not to stick in your teeth. Now mentally sandwich two of these cookies with a mascarpone-cream cheese filling. And that's what you'll find here. An oatmeal cookie with a little something extra, a recipe made for keeping. You can bake the cookies a few days ahead, but they are best filled within a few hours of serving.

Time 1h15m

Yield 18 sandwiches

Number Of Ingredients 17

80 grams shredded sweetened coconut flakes (3/4 cup)

OATMEAL SANDWICH COOKIES



Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies image

This recipe is from my grandmother who left Russia as a girl to come to Canada. It's the only recipe I have of hers. The original recipe calls for a filling of dates, sugar and water to be boiled with no amounts given. Jam works very well too.

Provided by Cookin-jo

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup flour
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup margarine
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
jam

Steps:

  • Mix the sour cream with the baking soda.
  • There are no directions as how to mix the dough but I always do this.
  • Mix the margarine well with the flour, salt and oatmeal. Add the sour cream mixture and vanilla.
  • The dough will be wet. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface thinly, about 1/3 inch or a bit less. Cut into 2 1/2 to 3 inch rounds and place on cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 4-5 minutes, more or less, not letting the cookies brown too much. I have a fast cooking oven, you may need to allow 8 minutes.
  • Let cool on the pan a few minutes, then remove cookies from the sheet onto a rack.
  • When totally cooled, make sandwiches with a date filling, or jam.
  • I don't know the serving amounts, so guessing.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier cookie. If you only have quick-cooking oats, pulse them in a food processor until they are the size of old-fashioned oats.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Do not overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before frosting them. This will help the frosting set properly.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal date sandwich cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat. They are perfect for a snack or dessert. The cookies are chewy and flavorful, and the filling is sweet and gooey. If you are looking for a new cookie recipe to try, I highly recommend these oatmeal date sandwich cookies. They are sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
