Nancys Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

OATMEAL COOKIE RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Set aside.
• In a standing mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars for 2-3 minutes, until fluffy. Beat in the egg until combined, then beat in vanilla extract. Add flour mixture and beat on low speed just until combined. Don't over mix. Add in oatmeal and all other add-ins, and keep mixing on low just until combined. The less you mix, the softer the cookies will be. Dough will be sticky and soft at this point, so I highly recommend chilling it for at least 30-60 minutes. Cover and place in the fridge.
• Preheat oven to 350°F/180°C. Line pan with parchment paper and set aside.
• Drop rounded balls of dough onto prepared baking sheet, the size of 2 tablespoons each, and spacing 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes, until cookies just begin to brown at the edges and center is still soft. Cookies will appear undone and moist in the center, but will continue to bake on the warm baking sheet. Leave to cool for 10 minutes, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
• Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 2 months. To thaw, leave on counter, still covered, or overnight in the fridge.

NANCY'S OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Nancy's note's on Oatmeal cookies; they are called Melanie's Breakfast Scottish Oat Cakes.
• Cream together 2/3 cups butter, 2/3 cups shortening, 1 cup brown sugar.
• 3 cups oatmeal (quick oats work best).
• 1 cup all purpose flour.
• 1 cup oat flour.
• 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda.
• Work the dough until just mixed and crumbly. Add 1/4 to 1/3 Celsius water slowly as needed and keep mixing a few minutes more until dough comes together in a solid mass, not too dry (where it crumbles from the spoon) and not to wet and sticky.
• (note: the water is important to the crispiness of the oat cakes. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour rather than omit the water.).
• Scoop the dough by large tablespoons (1 oz. to 2 oz. portions) onto ungreased cookie sheet. Press flat with fingers to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Bake at 350 - 375 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes until golden. Cool briefly and use a spatula to move oatcakes to a cooling rack.
• This recipe makes about 40 small or 20 large oatcakes. Store in a tin to keep crisp.
• Note from Nancy - I rolled the dough into about 1.5" balls and then pressed them flat. I also think the recipe needs more salt. I put in 1/2 teaspoons.
• See you in TX next year!

Gradually stir in dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Stir in raisins or chips, if using. Don't use too many; tastes best with just a few. Roll the balls big because there's not much dough to rise with all the Rice Krispies and oatmeal in them. We like these cookies best when they are thick. Always make one test cookie.
