Kids Can Make: Oatmeal Cookie Smoothie image

This all-in-one milk-and-cookies smoothie makes a nice change of pace for a summer breakfast or afternoon snack. For little kids: Let them help press the buttons on the blender. (Be sure to let it run for a full minute before you add the ice so the oatmeal-and-raisin mixture gets as smooth as possible.) For big kids: Let them measure the ingredients-it's the perfect time to teach them the difference between wet and dry ingredient measuring cups.

Oatmeal Dried Fruit Cookies image

These are the best oatmeal cookies I've ever had! Very buttery and very hearty. Any dried fruit works well such as cherries, raisins, cranberries, blueberries, or chopped apricots. For a really decadent treat, use chocolate chips and nuts instead of fruit.

CRANBERRY CHOCOLATE CHUNK OATMEAL DROPS



Cranberry Chocolate Chunk Oatmeal Drops image

This was a featured recipe today from the www.kingarthurflour.com website. It says these are also called Kids' Choice Chip & Fruit Oatmeal Cookies. "Kids and cookies go together like - well, like kids and just about anything sweet. Given kids' affinity for sugar, you might as well temper it with some of the "good stuff" - in this case, oats with their soluble fiber, and whole wheat flour, with its extra vitamins, minerals, and bran. Trust us: the kids won't know they're getting anything "healthy" in their favorite cookie!" Tips from our bakers: If you bake the cookies for 12 minutes; they'll be crunchy around the edges, with a slight bend at the center. If you bake for the full 14 minutes, till they're almost a light mahogany color, they'll be crisp/crunchy all the way through. For smaller cookies (great for smaller kids!), drop the dough by teaspoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets, and bake for just slightly less time: 30 seconds to 1 minute less than the larger cookies. Yield: about 7 dozen 2" cookies. What's vinegar doing in a chocolate chip cookie recipe? Ah-HA! Vinegar is our secret weapon. It tempers cookies' sweetness just a tad, and reacts with the leavener to give them a bit more rise, making them lightly crunchy/chewy rather than hard. Want to make the dough now, freeze, and bake later? Scoop the dough in tablespoonfuls onto the baking sheet; place them close together to save space. Cover the sheet with plastic wrap, and place in the freezer for about 2 hours, till the dough balls are frozen. put the dough balls in a plastic freezer bag, removing the air as best you can. A drinking straw, inserted into the almost-closed bag, can be used to suck out air and effectively shrink-wrap the cookies. Keep frozen for up to a month before baking. When you're ready to bake, place as many dough balls as you like on a prepared baking sheet, and let them sit at room temperature while you preheat your oven to 350°F, for about 15 minutes. Bake partially thawed cookies for 15 to 17 minutes, till as brown as you like.

FRUIT SWEETENED OATMEAL COOKIES



Fruit Sweetened Oatmeal Cookies image

These are oatmeal cookies sweetened only with fruit juice and they actually taste and look good! I made them for my kids and they love them. There are lots of raisins so you could probably use less and still enjoy the cookies if you want.

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup salted butter
1/2 cup apple juice concentrate
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 cup oats
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Cream the butter and apple juice concentrate together until blended. It may not be totally blended but the butter should be in small clumps. Add the egg and vanilla and mix well. In a separate bowl combine remaining ingredients except raisins. Add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture and mix well. Stir in the raisins. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll tablespoon size cookies into a ball and press onto sheet. (I use a baking stone so I am not sure if you will need to grease and ordinary sheet.) Cook for about 10 minutes or until they look set. They will not brown the same as ordinary cookies because they do not have white or brown sugar in them so don't wait for them to brown! I would recommend pressing lightly on the top of one to see if it is set. Enjoy! Makes 2 dozen cookies.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your cookies will be.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give them a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.
