Allrecipes Oatmeal Cookies

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together shortening, margarine, brown sugar, white sugar, and peanut butter until smooth. Beat in the eggs one at a time until well blended. Combine the flour, baking soda, and salt; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in the oats until just combined. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake for 10 to 15 minutes in the preheated oven, or until just light brown. Don't over-bake. Cool and store in an airtight container.

Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a large fork dipped in sugar.
• Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Whisk 1 1/4 cups brown sugar, 1 egg and 2 egg whites in a bowl. Whisk in 1/4 cup vegetable oil; stir in 1 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 cup whole-wheat flour, 1/2 cup wheat germ and 1 teaspoon each baking soda and salt. Add 1/2 cup chocolate chunks and 1/4 cup each raisins and walnuts. Drop large spoonfuls onto lined baking sheets and gently flatten; bake at 350 degrees F, 12 to 15 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a cookie sheet. Using a mixer with the paddle attachment, mix together the butter, brown sugar, honey, egg and water thoroughly. Sift together the dry ingredients then stir in the oats. Add the dry ingredients to the wet and mix. Add any additional ingredients you've chosen. Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls onto the cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on a wire rack.

Steps:

• Position the racks in the top and lower third of the oven and preheat to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, allspice, cinnamon, and mace.
• In another large bowl, combine the butter and sugar and, with a hand-held electric mixer, mix on low speed until just incorporated. Raise the speed to high and mix until light and fluffy. (Occasionally turn the mixer off, and scrape the sides of the bowl down with a rubber spatula.)
• Add the brown sugar and mix until incorporated. Add the eggs to the butter mixture, one at time, waiting for the first one to be fully incorporated before adding the last. Mix in the vanilla.
• Reduce the mixer's speed to low. Add the flour mixture, little by little, until a smooth dough is formed (scrape the bowl down occasionally). Turn off the machine, stir in the oats, raisins, and pecans with a rubber spatula.
• Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Using a spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the dough onto the sheets, spaced about 2 inches apart.
• Bake the cookies in batches, turning the pans once, until golden brown, but still soft and spongy, about 15 minutes per batch. Let the cookies cool slightly on the baking sheets, and then transfer to racks to cool completely. Store in a sealed container.

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350 degrees. Grease 2 large cookie sheets. Cream butter and sugars in mixer until light and fluffy. Add eggs, beat together. Add vanilla, baking powder and baking soda. Then add the flour. Mix until well combined. Stir in coconut and nuts. Mix in oatmeal.
• Drop on greased cookie sheets by the tsp., spacing about 1/2 inch apart. Bake 12 to 15 minutes, just until the edges begin to brown. Transfer to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a large bowl, cream together the brown sugar and butter. Mix in the egg, vanilla and milk. Stir in the flour, baking powder and soda and salt until well combined. Stir in the oats and the raisins. Grease a cookie sheet and drop batter using a spoon. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In a blender, process 1 1/2 cups oats into a fine meal. Whisk together ground oats, cornstarch, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
• In a large bowl, using a mixer, beat butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla. With mixer on low, gradually add oat mixture, beating until combined. Fold in chocolate chips, raisins, and remaining 3 cups oats.
• In batches, drop dough in 2-tablespoonful mounds onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, 2 inches apart. Bake until cookies are golden brown at edges, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool on sheet on a wire rack 2 minutes, then transfer to rack and let cool completely.
• Store in an airtight container, at room temperature, up to 5 days, or in freezer, up to 1 month.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cream together shortening and sugars.
• Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.
• Sift together flour, salt and soda.
• Add to creamed mixture.
• Stir in oats slowly.
• Mix well. Add nuts, chips or raisins, if desired. Dough will be fairly stiff.
• Drop by heaping tablespoon on lightly greased cookie sheet. (I use a 4 teaspoon cookie scoop and press them down slightly before baking).
• Bake for 8-10 minutes.

Steps:

• Position racks in the top and bottom thirds of the oven, and preheat to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 cookie sheets with silicone liners (such as Silpat®).
• Whisk flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together in a medium bowl.
• Combine butter, brown sugar, and white sugar in a large bowl. Beat with an electric mixer on medium-high speed, stopping occasionally to scrape down the sides of the bowl, until creamy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs and vanilla and beat until blended, about 1 minutes, scraping the sides as needed. Add dry ingredients and mix on low speed just until blended. Mix in oats, raisins, and pecans on low speed just to blend.
• With a 2-inch cookie scoop, scoop dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing about 2 inches apart.
• Bake in the preheated oven, rotating sheets halfway through, until cookies are light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 30 minutes.
• While the cookies are cooking, whisk powdered sugar, butter, and 1 tablespoon apple juice together in a bowl until smooth. Add more juice if needed for a good drizzling consistency.
• Drizzle icing over cooled cookies. Let icing set before serving, about 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Cream sugar, shortening (may substitute 1/2 cup butter or margarine), eggs and vanilla thoroughly. Mix in remaining ingredients. Refrigerate 4 to 5 hours or overnight.
• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Shape dough by rounded teaspoonfuls into balls. Place on ungreased baking sheet. Flatten with greased bottom of glass dipped in sugar. Bake for 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°.
• Whisk dry ingredients; set aside.
• Combine wet ingredients with a hand mixer on low.
• To cream, increase speed to high and beat until fluffy and the color lightens.
• Stir the flour mixture into the creamed mixture until no flour is visible.
• (Over mixing develops the gluten, making a tough cookie.) Now add the oats and raisins; stir to incorporate.
• Fill a #40 cookie scoop and press against side of bowl, pulling up to level dough (to measure 2 tablespoons of dough).
• Drop 2-inches apart onto baking sheet sprayed with nonstick spray.
• Bake 11-13 minutes (on center rack), until golden, but still moist beneath cracks on top.
• Remove from oven; let cookies sit on baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, butter flavored shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs and vanilla until smooth.
• Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture.
• Stir in the oats and raisins.
• Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
• Bake 10 to 12 minutes until light and golden.
• Do not overbake.
• Let them cool for 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheets to cool completely.
• Store in airtight container.
• Make sure you get some, because they don't last long!

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F - you will need 3 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (again the parchment keeps the cookie from burning and makes clean up faster).
• Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
• Beat together with mixer at low speed - butter and sugar until the sugar granules are not visible. Increase speed and beat 1 minute longer, scrape sides as needed and add egg, beat another 30 seconds. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time and incorporate well over med speed until mixture is smooth. Add oatmeal and stir into the dough using your rubber spatula.
• Divide into 24 equal portions and bake for 13 to 16 minutes placing only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time and rotating the cookie sheet half way through your cooking time -- these are the best and the thinnest cookies and very crispy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F.
• Cream butter or margarine with sugars in large mixing bowl.
• Stir in eggs and vanilla.
• Stir in dry ingredients (flours-salt) until blended.
• Add oats and wheat germ, stirring until combined.
• Stir in chocolate chips, raisins and pecans (if using).
• Form dough into 3-inch balls and place on cookie sheets.
• Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
• Mix the flour with the cinnamon.
• Cream the butter and both the sugars until fluffy. Add the egg, milk, and vanilla. Gradually add the flour mixture.
• Stir in oats and raisins.
• Drop by teaspoonfuls if small cookies are desired, tablespoons if larger cookies are desired onto parchment paper (this stuff is reusable - one sheet will do the whole batch).
• Bake until golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Cool on wire racks.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Beat butter, brown sugar, and white sugar together in a bowl using an electric mixer until smooth and creamy. Beat eggs and vanilla extract into butter mixture until incorporated.
• Whisk oats, flour, chocolate chips, cocoa powder, baking soda, and salt together in a bowl; slowly stir into butter mixture until dough is just mixed. Scoop dough using a small scooper onto baking sheet.
• Bake in the preheated oven until edges of cookies are lightly browned, about 15 minutes.

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.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F Lightly grease ( or line with parchment) two baking sheets.
• In a large bowl, cream together the butter, oil and sugar. Add the egg, beating until fluffy, then beat in the sour cream and vanilla. Stir in the currants and oats.
• In a seperate bowl, mix together the baking soda, cinnamon, salt and flour. Add this mixture a cup at a time to the oat mixture, beating well after each addition. Stir in the nuts. Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.
• Using a medium cookie scoop drop the dough onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake the cookies for 12 minutes or until they're light brown. Remove them from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool.
