Mary Aldens Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and both the brown and granulated sugar. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat well. In another bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder and salt. Stir in the dry mixture to the butter mixture. Then add the oatmeal, pecans and coconut.
• Using an ice cream scooper, drop some of the dough on an ungreased baking sheet 2 inches apart. Bake until the cookies turn a light brown, about 10 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

Steps:

• Cream together Crisco and sugars; stir in eggs, water, and vanilla.
• Add dry ingredients, stirring to blend.
• Mix in raisins (or chocolate chips).
• Drop by half teaspoonsful onto greased cookie sheet.
• Bake at 375 degrees F or 12 minutes.
• (Do not let cookies get too brown or they will burn on the bottom.).

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4 and line 2 baking trays with baking parchment. Pour 50ml/2fl oz boiling water over the raisins and leave to soak for 20 mins until plump. Drain, reserving the liquid.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix together the oil and sugar. Gradually beat in the egg, along with the reserved water from the raisins, the cinnamon and vanilla extract. Sift the flour, bicarbonate of soda and a pinch of salt into the bowl, then add the oats. Finally, mix in the raisins.
• Drop heaped tbsps of the cookie dough onto the baking trays, well spaced apart as they will spread when cooking. Bake for 12-15 mins until golden. Leave to cool on the trays for 10 mins before tucking in, or transfer to a cooling rack to cool completely. Will keep in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. Line a baking tray with baking parchment.
• Sift the flour into a bowl. Mix in the baking powder, porridge oats and sugar.
• Melt the butter, syrup and milk in a small saucepan or in the microwave and stir.
• Add to the dry ingredients. Mix until the liquid covers all the oat mixture and until well combined.
• Spoon onto a baking tray and shape into rounds, leaving space between each biscuit as they will spread whilst cooking.
• Bake for 10-15 mins, or until golden brown. Leave to cool for 5 mins before removing from tray.
