Salty Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

SALTED OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• In the large bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter for a few minutes on medium-high speed until light and fluffy. Scrape down the sides of the bowl and add the sugars, baking powder, baking soda and cinnamon, beating until the mixture is well blended. Reduce the speed to medium and add the eggs and vanilla extract, mixing until well incorporated. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour and oats, scraping down the sides of the bowl as necessary and mixing just until they are incorporated. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and chill the dough for at least an hour before baking.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Form the dough into golf ball-size balls and place about 2 inches apart on the baking sheet. Sprinkle sea salt generously on top of each ball of dough, as you would sugar. Bake 1 sheet at a time for 15 minutes or until the cookies are puffed and beginning to turn golden, being careful not to overbake. (The cookies should have a tender interior.) Transfer the cookies, still on the parchment paper, to a wire rack to cool completely.

SALTY OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 3 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. On low speed, add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time. Scrape down the bowl again.
• Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Mix in the oats. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture. Don't overbeat it! With a rubber spatula, stir in the chocolate and cranberries until the dough is well mixed. With a 1 3/4-inch ice cream scoop (or two spoons), scoop round balls of dough onto the prepared sheet pans. Sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until nicely browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SALTY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 (rack on the 2nd position from top).
• Slice "cold" unsalted butter into small pieces and whip in your mixer for a minute or so. Because it's cold it will stick a bit, but don't fret -- scrape and mix.
• Add both sugars, baking powder, baking soda and the cinnamon. With mixer combine at medium speed until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
• Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again until combined.
• With mixer on low speed, slowly add flour. If your mixer sounds like it's over-working, you may have to continue by hand and use a spoon.
• DON'T OVER MIX or cookies will get tough!
• Gently fold in the oats, and optional add-ins of chocolate chips or raisins.
• Chill the dough for at least an hour.
• Drop dough by the heaping tablespoon onto cookie sheet.
• "Lightly" sprinkle cookies with Kosher salt.
• Bake on 2nd rack from top at 375 for 12-15 minutes. (Cookies should still be soft to the touch).
• Carefully transfer them to a cooling rack and enjoy!

SALTY THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 large (18- by 12-inch) baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl.
• In standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars at medium-low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute longer. Scrape down bowl with rubber spatula.
• Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl again.
• With mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture and mix until just incorporated and smooth, 10 seconds.
• With mixer still running on low, gradually add oats and mix until well incorporated, 20 seconds. Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Divide dough into 24 equal portions, each about 2 tablespoons (or use #30 cookie scoop), then roll between palms into balls.
• Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart, 8 dough balls per sheet (see note above). Using fingertips, gently press each dough ball to 3/4-inch thickness. Lightly sprinkle sea salt evenly over flattened dough balls before baking.
• Bake 1 sheet at a time until cookies are deep golden brown, edges are crisp, and centers yield to slight pressure when pressed, 13 to 16 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through.
• Transfer baking sheet to wire rack; cool cookies completely on sheet.

SWEET 'N' SALTY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix together the oats, coconut and cashews in a large bowl, then drizzle with the honey. Mix to combine, then spread on one of the prepared cookie sheets.
• Toast the mixture in the oven until the coconut begins to brown and the mixture becomes fragrant, about 8 minutes. Allow to cool about 10 minutes.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a medium bowl, then whisk in the toasted oat mixture. Set aside.
• Cream the butter, sugars and vanilla together in the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment until sandy and smooth. Beat in the egg, then scrape the bowl and beater. Add the flour mixture and white chocolate chips and blend on low speed to combine. Scoop 2-tablespoon portions of dough on 2 lined cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart. Flatten the cookies just slightly, then sprinkle each cookie with a touch of coarse salt. Bake until the edges are golden and the cookies are puffed, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool slightly on the baking sheets, then enjoy!
