Time 40m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 c mccanns quick cooking(not instant) oatmeal
2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp each baking powder, baking soda, & salt
2 stick (1 cup) unsalted kerry gold irish butter ( i use regular salted butter)
1 c light brown sugar (firmly packed)
1/2 c granulated sugar
2 large eggs, room temperature
1/3 c irish cream liqueur
1 tsp each vanilla & peppermint extract
1 c chopped nuts ( i used walnuts)
1 c raisins
12 oz mint chocolate chips (i used andes mint chocolate candies, broken into chunks)

Steps:

  • 1. In my opinion you can not have oatmeal cookies without Raisins and nuts, so I added them to this recipe and they are the best I have had in a long time. The hardest part about this recipe is UNWRAPPING ALL OF THE CANDIES.
  • 2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Spray cookie sheet with non stick cooking spray, or use parchment paper, set aside till needed.This is the oat meal that was used in this recipe
  • 3. In a large bowl add flour, oatmeal, baking powder, baking soda, & salt then stir to blend. Original recipe said to pulverize mixture in a food processor, but I wanted to keep the texture, and omitted this step.
  • 4. In a separate bowl add both sugars and softened butter, and beat till creamy, then add eggs one at a time and beat well after each addition.
  • 5. Then add cream liqueur, vanilla & peppermint extract & about 1/3 of flour & beat till blended.
  • 6. Add remaining flour mixture in 2 increments,with mixer set to low setting. until all has been added.
  • 7. Now add in raisins, nuts and chocolate chunks and stir with a large spoon to mix well.
  • 8. Refrigerate till batter is firm. I left batter in fridge till the next morning, then cut dough into large chunk size pieces.
  • 9. Place on prepared cookie sheet, and bake in preheated 350 degreeF. oven for 10 to 12 minutes.
  • 10. Allow to cool then remove to wire rack to cool completely.
  • 11. Serve with cold milk or IRISH COFFEE.

1 cup firmly packed sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup unbleached bread flour

Shape dough into two 12-inch long rolls; wrap in wax paper. Freeze several hours or overnight. Heat oven to 350 degrees F. Cut each roll into 1/4-inch thick slices.

Remove from sheet; cool on wire racks.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats for a chewier cookie.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking to prevent the cookies from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set.
