Double Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies With Pecans And Cherries Recipes

DOUBLE-CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES WITH PECANS AND CHERRIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Whisk oats, flour, sugar, cocoa powder, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a large bowl. Make a well in the center of mixture. Add eggs and oil to well; whisk eggs and oil inside well to combine.
• Using a wooden spoon or a silicone spatula, stir oat mixture and egg mixture until combined. Stir in cherries, pecans, and chopped chocolate.
• Roll dough evenly into 24 balls (about 1¾ inches each). Arrange balls at least 2 inches apart on baking sheet. Note: The dough may feel crumbly; just give it an extra squeeze to form the cookies. They'll bake perfectly in the oven.
• Bake until tops and edges of cookies are set and no longer glossy, 9 to 10 minutes. Let cool on baking sheets for 5 minutes. Transfer cookies to a wire rack. Serve warm or let cool completely, about 1 hour.

CHOCOLATE-CHUNK OATMEAL COOKIES WITH PECANS AND DRIED CHERRIES FROM AMERICA'S TEST KITCHEN RECIPE - (4.3/5)

Steps:

• Place an oven rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt. In another medium bowl, mix together dried cherries, toasted pecans, oats, and chocolate chips. In the bowl of a stand mixer, mix together butter and sugar until no lumps remain, about 1 minute. Add the egg and vanilla, stopping to scrape the sides of the bowl with a rubber spatula if necessary and mix for about 30 seconds. On low-speed, slowly add the flour mixture until just combined. Then turn off the mixer and fold in the oats and cherry mixture with a rubber spatula. Roll dough into 1/4-inch balls and place on the baking sheet, lightly flattening each ball to 1-inch thickness. Place the balls 2 1/2 inches apart on the cookies sheets. Bake the cookies one sheet at a time for 20-22 minutes, rotating the cookie sheet halfway through, until cookies are medium brown and the edges are set. Don't worry, the cookies will appear a little underbaked in the middle. Let the cookies cool for 5 minutes on the cookie sheet and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.

CHOCOLATE-CHUNK OATMEAL COOKIES WITH PECANS AND DRIED CHERRIES

Steps:

• I baked the cookies only one tray at a time so I cannot vouch for the method of baking two at a time. But if you would like to bake two trays at a time adjust oven racks to upper and lower middle positions.
• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Line 2 large (18 x 12) baking sheets with parchment paper. If you do not have this size, you will need to use 3.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt in medium bowl.
• In second medium bowl, stir together, oats, pecans, cherries and chocolate.
• In a 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; about 1/4 cup each.
• Roll between palms into balls about 2 inches in diameter; stagger 8 balls on each baking sheet, spacing about 2 1/2 inches apart.
• Using hands, gently press each dough ball into 1 inch thickness. Bake both 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. (I baked each cookie tray individually for 18 minutes). Do Not Over Bake.
• Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire rack 5 minutes; using wide metal spatual, transfer cookies to wire rack and cool to room tempature.
