SIMPLE OATMEAL COOKIES OR COWBOY COOKIES



Simple Oatmeal Cookies or Cowboy Cookies image

These are some cookies that I made for my SIL when she was having issues with fibre in her diet. She was encouraged to have oatmeal and so I tried to find her a "good" oatmeal cookie. This was attempt number two. This recipe is adapted from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. I have included two versions of a great cookie. When I make the cowboy cookies, I make them BIG.

Categories     Dessert

Time 18m

Yield 70 cookies, 45 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening, melted (can use butter)
1 tablespoon molasses
1/4 cup milk
1 3/4 cups oatmeal, uncooked
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup sweetened coconut, flaked (reduce oatmeal by 1/4 cup) or 3/4 cup sweetened coconut, shredded (reduce oatmeal by 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • To make Simple Oatmeal Cookies: Mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients.
  • Arrange by teaspoonfuls on unbuttered cookie sheets. Leave about 1 inch in between. They do spread a wee bit. Not too much though.
  • Bake until the edges are brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  • For Cowboy Cookies: Add in coconut and chocolate chips when you add in the rest of the ingredients (Step 3). Drop them by the FULL tablespoon on a cookie sheet. (Might have to "squish" them a bit) Bake for 14-17 minutes or until mostly brown.

Tips:

  • Use good quality oats. The type of oats you use will make a big difference in the texture of your cookies. For the best results, use old-fashioned oats that have been finely ground.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. 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.
  • Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature. Baking the cookies at a moderate temperature will help them cook evenly without burning.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before eating. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal cookies are a classic treat that are easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and hearty oats, they're the perfect snack or dessert. Whether you like them plain or with mix-ins like raisins, chocolate chips, or nuts, there's an oatmeal cookie recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're in the mood for a sweet treat, give one of these recipes a try!
