INSTANT OATMEAL PACKET COOKIES



Instant Oatmeal Packet Cookies image

Everyone seems to have a box of instant oatmeal packets hiding in their pantry or kitchen, sadly forgotten. While they make a quick breakfast, a lot of people get tired of the same old flavors of everyday oatmeal. Rather than throwing away money and letting oatmeal packets become trashcan bound, I try to re-purpose them. Instant oatmeal packets aren't just for breakfast, they also make wonderful, chewy oatmeal cookies unlike any other. This recipe is great because you can mix and match different combinations of oatmeal packet flavors together to create a different cookie every time. My favorites are the Maple & Brown Sugar mixed with Apples and Cinnamon, or Strawberries and Cream with Blueberries and Cream.

Meanwhile, stir the dry ingredients together in a separate bowl. Gently mix in the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients until evenly blended. Mix in the nuts or raisins (if using).

  • Makes about 15-18 cookies.

Be warned: These breakfast cookies are addictive. I took a basic oatmeal cookie recipe and pumped it up. It has whole wheat flour so it's filling and excellent as a breakfast cookie. I gave a friend this recipe and her family can't get enough. Incredible flavor!

LIGHT INSTANT OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES



Light Instant Oatmeal Raisin Cookies image

This is largely the Betty Crocker recipe, but it replaces the butter and shortening with light butter. My preparation also allows for the use of instant oatmeal packets in place of plain dry oats. Note that flavoring in the packets is crucial: if you're unsure about how the added flavors of the instant oatmeal will work with the rest of the recipe, then follow the instructions for separating the oats from the rest of the contents of the packet.

Time 41m

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 11

2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup light butter, softened
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 eggs
3 cups oats (or 3 1/2 cups if using instant oatmeal as-is)
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • If using good quality instant oatmeal, you may want to use the oatmeal packets in their entirety. If the flavor of the non-oat part of the oatmeal isn't to your liking, then empty each packet and pick out the dried fruit. Then, run the oatmeal through a sieve to separate the oats from the flavoring.
  • In a large bowl, beat all ingredients except oats, flour and raisins with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with a wooden spoon.
  • Stir in oats, flour and raisins.
  • If using oatmeal packets in their entirety instead of just the oats, allow the mixture to rest for 10 minutes to allow the dried fruit and other ingredients to fully rehydrate.
  • On UNGREASED cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
  • Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack or sheets of paper towel.

INSTANT COOKIES



Instant Cookies image

In September of 1964 I sat in a required junior high home economics class learning to bake and sew. I saved this recipe in my best handwriting and still use it. These cookies are super simple and tasty. Great recipe when you get unexpected company for tea, or to give the children something to make on a rainy day. They make a very small batch so they're great for singles too.

Chewy Instant Oatmeal

Trying to figure out what to do with all of those instant oatmeal individual packs? Now you can convert them into a yummy soft and chewy oatmeal cookie!

Provided by TwinGodesses

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 30m

Yield 24-36 cookies, 12-16 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 cup butter (softened)
1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 large eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk (or sub 1/2 cup milk, 1/2 tablespoon white vinegar)
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
6 -7 packages of flavored instant oatmeal (I used 4 apple cinnamon and 3 maple brown sugar...Any kind will work!)
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup nuts, raisins, cranberries (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven at 350 degrees.
  • Grease a cookie sheet or use parchment paper.
  • Using a electric mixer, cream together butter, shortening, and brown sugar until fluffy.
  • Add eggs and continue mixing until mixture becomes creamy and light in color.
  • Add buttermilk and mix well. (mixture with look a bit separated).
  • Sift together flour, baking soda, salt and baking powder then stir into creamed mixture.
  • Fold in oatmeal packs and vanilla extract. Mix well.
  • Add nuts, raisins, or cranberries (optional).
  • Spoon onto cookie sheet and bake for about 12-15 minuets or until golden brown around the edges.
  • Let cool before serving.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start baking, measure and gather all your ingredients and tools. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling during the baking process.
  • Use Room Temperature Ingredients: When a recipe calls for room temperature ingredients, it means that they should be at the same temperature as the room you're baking in. This helps the ingredients blend together more easily and evenly.
  • Cream Butter and Sugar Thoroughly: When creaming butter and sugar together, make sure to beat them until they are light and fluffy. This will help incorporate air into the mixture, which will make your cookies lighter and more tender.
  • Don't Overmix the Dough: Overmixing the dough can make your cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before baking helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Use a Cookie Scoop: A cookie scoop is a great way to ensure that your cookies are all the same size and shape. This will help them bake evenly.
  • Bake the Cookies Until They Are Just Set: The cookies should be slightly golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. If you overbake them, they will be dry and crumbly.
  • Let the Cookies Cool Completely: Before you store or enjoy your cookies, let them cool completely on a wire rack. This will help them set and firm up.

Conclusion:

With these tips in mind, you can easily make delicious instant cookies at home. These cookies are perfect for a quick snack or dessert, and they can also be customized to your liking. Get creative and experiment with different flavors, mix-ins, and toppings to find your perfect cookie recipe.
