THE BEST SIMPLE OATMEAL COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees and line your baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Add the butter and the brown sugar to the bowl of your stand mixer and beat on medium speed until the mixture is light and fluffy, around 5 minutes.
• Add the egg and vanilla and beat for another minute.
• Add the flour, sprinkle in the baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Mix until combined. Add the oats and combine.
• Fold in the dried cherries, chocolate, chopped pecans, or other mix-ins if desired.
• The mixture will be a little tacky, but you should be able to roll it into a ball in your hands without making a total mess. If it is too sticky, add 1 tablespoon of flour at a time until the mixture can be handled.
• Roll the dough into 1 to 1.5 inch balls (about 1 large tablespoon of dough), using your hands and place the balls on the prepared cookie sheet 2 inches apart. Bake for 10 to 14 minutes until the edges begin to brown and the centers are set.
• Transfer to a wire rack and let them cool completely.

• Preheat oven to 350F, line a baking sheet with a Silpat or spray with cooking spray; set aside.
• To a large bowl, add the egg, butter, sugars, vanilla, and mix with a spoon aggressively for about 90 seconds, or until smooth and slightly fluffed, i.e. your bicep and shoulder should be burning if you've mixed well enough.
• Add the oats, flour, baking soda, salt, and stir to combine.
• Add the chocolate chips and stir to combine.
• Using a 2-tablespoon cookie scoop, form mounds and place on prepared baking sheet spaced about 2 inches apart (I baked 12 cookies on the first sheet)
• Bake for about 10 to 13 minutes (short for super soft cookies, longer for more well-done cookies), or until edges have set and tops are just set, even if slightly undercooked, pale, and glossy in the center; don't overbake. Cookies firm up as they cool.
• Immediately upon taking the baking sheet out of the oven, add about 5 additional chocolate chips per cookie. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for about 10 minutes before serving. I let them cool on the baking sheet and don't use a rack.

BASIC OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. In a medium sized bowl, melt butter or margarine in the microwave until soft and melting, add white and brown sugars and blend well. Beat in the eggs, then stir in the vanilla. In a large bowl, sift flour, baking soda, salt & cinnamon and stir, blending well. Add the butter & sugar mixture and stir it in well, blending all. Add oats and mix together well.
• 2. Place by spoonfuls or make walnut-sized balls if you can onto cookie sheets. (I use parchment to bake on. You never burn the bottoms of the cookies using parchment!) Place about 2 inches apart.
• 3. Bake 12-15 minutes (Watch your oven--baking time may vary.) Let sit for 2 to 3 minutes, then remove from cookie sheet.
• 4. NOTES: As I said, this is just a basic recipe. If you wish to add something to the mix, feel free! For example, 1 Cup chopped pecans or walnuts, 1 Cup raisins or dried cranberries, 2/3 cup of coconut, etc... I have even mixed in 1/2 Cup of English Toffee bits with chopped pecans and they turned out fantastic! And I will mention again the ease with which cookies bake on parchment paper! I'll never grease another cookie sheet ever again! Try it! Bon Apetit' Y'all!

EXTRA EASY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• You can use regular melted butter or browned butter for this cookie recipe.
• For regular melted butter, melt the butter in the microwave or on the stove, and then cool. When cool to the touch, use the melted butter in the recipe below.
• For browned butter (our favorite), melt the butter in a light-colored skillet over medium heat. Swirl the pan occasionally to be sure the butter is melting evenly. As it melts, the butter will begin to foam and the color will change from light yellow to golden, and finally to brown. This only takes a minute or two.
• When the browned butter smells nutty and the butter is a light golden brown, transfer the browned butter to a heatproof bowl to cool. When cool to the touch, use the browned butter in the recipe below.
• In a medium bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cardamom together. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, whisk the sugars, whole egg, egg yolk, vanilla, and the melted butter or browned butter together.
• Switch to a large rubber spatula, and then add the flour mixture in 3 parts, stirring gently until they disappear. Fold in the oats, dried fruit, and nuts.
• Heat oven to 325 degrees Fahrenheit (160C) and line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Roll cookie dough into balls (about 1 1/2 tablespoons of dough) and place onto baking sheets. Leave 2 inches between the cookies to allow for spreading. (For larger cookies, use 3 to 4 tablespoons of dough and space them apart by 3 inches.) Gently press the tops of the cookies down a little to help them spread more evenly in the oven.
• Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time and rotate once during cooking, for 9 to 15 minutes. The cookies should be light golden brown around the edges but look almost wet in the middles. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store the baked cookies in an airtight container for up to 3 days at room temperature or up to a week in the refrigerator.

OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Place the nuts on a baking sheet and bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned and fragrant. Let cool and then chop into pieces.
• In the bowl of your electric mixer (or with a hand mixer), beat the butter and sugar until creamy and smooth (about 2 - 3 minutes). Add the egg and vanilla extract and beat to combine.
• In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, and ground cinnamon. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in the nuts, oats, and dried cranberries or chocolate chips.
• For large cookies, use 1/4 cup of batter (I like to use an ice cream scoop) and space the cookies about 2 inches (5 cm) apart on the baking sheet. Then wet your hand and flatten the cookies slightly with your fingers so they are about 1/2 inch (1.25 cm) thick.
• Bake the cookies for about 12 - 15 minutes or until light golden brown around the edges but still soft and a little wet in the centers.
• Remove from oven and let the cookies cool a few minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool.
