Time 27m

Yield 16 large cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 cups unbleached all-purpose flour (6 1/4 ounces)
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon table salt
1 1/4 cups rolled oats, old-fashioned (3 1/2 ounces)
1 cup toasted pecans, chopped (4 ounces)
1 cup dried tart cherry, chopped coarse (5 ounces)
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate, chopped into chunks about size of chocolate chips (about 3/4 cup)
12 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened but still cool (1 1/2 sticks)
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar, preferably dark (10 1/2 ounces)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Line large baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl.
  • In second medium bowl, stir together oats, pecans, cherries, and chocolate.
  • In standing mixer fitted with flat beater, beat butter and sugar at medium speed until no sugar lumps remain, about 1 minute.
  • Scrape down sides of bowl with rubber spatula; add egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low speed until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
  • Scrape down bowl; with mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture; mix until just combined, about 30 seconds.
  • With mixer still running on low, gradually add oat/nut mixture; mix until just incorporated.
  • Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Divide dough evenly into 16 portions, each about 1/4 cup, then roll between palms into balls about 2 inches in diameter; stagger 8 balls on each baking sheet, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart.
  • Using hands, gently press each dough ball to 1 inch thickness.
  • Bake both baking sheets 12 minutes, rotate them front to back and top to bottom, then continue to bake until cookies are medium brown and edges have begun to set but centers are still soft (cookies will seem underdone and will appear raw, wet, and shiny in cracks), 8 to 10 minutes longer.
  • Do not overbake.
  • Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire rack 5 minutes; using wide metal spatula, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool to room temperature.

PAULA'S ULTIMATE OATMEAL COOKIES RECIPE - (2.7/5)



Paula's Ultimate Oatmeal Cookies Recipe - (2.7/5) image

Provided by learen

Number Of Ingredients 20

1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 each eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 3/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ginger
1 teaspoon nutmeg
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon allspice
2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats(not instant)
1 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
1 teaspoon vanilla
Brown Butter Icing
1/2 cup butter
3 cups confectioners sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • PREHEAT the oven to 350. Line cookie sheets with parchment paper. USING a mixer, cream together the butter, shortening, and sugar at low speed until fluffy. Add the eggs and beat until the mixture is light in color. Add the buttermilk and mix to combine. SIFT together the flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, cloves, and allspice. At low speed, gradually add the dry ingredients. Using a spatula, fold in the oatmeal, raising, walnuts, and vanilla, blending well. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 1 1/2 inches apart onto the cookie sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes. WHILE the cookies are baking, make the icing. In a small saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Remove the saucepan from the heat; stir in sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough water 3-4 tablespoons to make and icing of drizzling consistency. REMOVE the cookies to wire racks to cool. Drizzle with icing while cookies are still warm.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. They have a chewier texture than quick-cooking or instant oats.
  • Don't 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 serving. This will help them firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal cookies are the perfect combination of chewy, gooey, and crispy. They're also packed with flavor, thanks to the oats, raisins, and spices. Whether you're enjoying them for breakfast, lunch, or a snack, these cookies are sure to be a hit.
