OATMEAL SANDWICH COOKIES



Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies image

Forget all the bad, soggy oatmeal cookies you've ever had in your life. Picture instead a moist-centered, butterscotch-imbued, crisp-edged cookie flecked with nubby oats. Add to this the fragrant nuttiness of toasted coconut. Then subtract any chewy raisins that may have accidentally wandered into the picture, and substitute sweet, soft dates, guaranteed not to stick in your teeth. Now mentally sandwich two of these cookies with a mascarpone-cream cheese filling. And that's what you'll find here. An oatmeal cookie with a little something extra, a recipe made for keeping. You can bake the cookies a few days ahead, but they are best filled within a few hours of serving.

OATMEAL SANDWICH COOKIES



Oatmeal Sandwich Cookies image

This recipe is from my grandmother who left Russia as a girl to come to Canada. It's the only recipe I have of hers. The original recipe calls for a filling of dates, sugar and water to be boiled with no amounts given. Jam works very well too.

Provided by Cookin-jo

Categories     Dessert

Time 20m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup flour
2 cups oatmeal
1 cup margarine
1/4 cup sour cream
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon vanilla
jam

Steps:

  • Mix the sour cream with the baking soda.
  • There are no directions as how to mix the dough but I always do this.
  • Mix the margarine well with the flour, salt and oatmeal. Add the sour cream mixture and vanilla.
  • The dough will be wet. Refrigerate for 2 hours.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • Roll the dough on a floured surface thinly, about 1/3 inch or a bit less. Cut into 2 1/2 to 3 inch rounds and place on cookie sheet.
  • Bake for 4-5 minutes, more or less, not letting the cookies brown too much. I have a fast cooking oven, you may need to allow 8 minutes.
  • Let cool on the pan a few minutes, then remove cookies from the sheet onto a rack.
  • When totally cooled, make sandwiches with a date filling, or jam.
  • I don't know the serving amounts, so guessing.

OATMEAL DATE COOKIES



Oatmeal Date Cookies image

Dates contribute a satisfying chew and rich butterscotch flavor to these oatmeal cookies. You'd be hard pressed to find a better oatmeal cookie recipe.

Categories     Dessert     snack     Cookies     Bake     Oat     Date     Cinnamon     Butter     Egg     Mixer     Vegetarian     Soy Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Kid-Friendly

Yield Makes 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

8 tablespoons (1 stick/​115 g) unsalted butter, at room temperature
¼ cup (50 g) granulated sugar
½ cup packed (105 g) dark brown sugar
½ teaspoon kosher salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 large egg
¾ cup (100 g) Sonora wheat flour, or any other heirloom wheat flour
¾ cup (80 g) old-​fashioned rolled oats
1 cup (145 g) chopped pitted Medjool dates (about 16 )

Steps:

  • In a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, cream the butter and both sugars at medium speed until smooth, about 3 minutes. Add the salt, baking soda, and cinnamon and mix until well combined, 1 minute. Add the egg and mix for another minute. Add the flour and oats and mix on low speed until combined. Finally, add the dates in two additions to make sure they're distributed evenly throughout. The dough will be very soft at this point.
  • Transfer the dough to a sheet of parchment paper or plastic wrap. Flatten into a disk with your hands, then wrap tightly and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes (and up to 2 days)-​chilled dough will be much easier to handle.
  • Place two racks in the middle positions and preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Divide the dough into 16 equal portions, about 1½ ounces (45 g) each. Working quickly so that the dough doesn't warm up, shape each portion into a ball with your hands. You can freeze the cookie dough balls for up to 2 weeks in a freezer bag to be baked from frozen at a later time. Place cookies on the prepared baking sheets, at least 3 inches apart to prevent the cookies from touching as they spread when they bake. Bake for 10 minutes, rotate the baking sheets and switch their positions in the oven, and bake for another 6 to 8 minutes, until the edges are brown and the middle is golden. Rotating and switching the sheets halfway through the baking process will ensure that the cookies bake evenly. Let the cookies cool completely on the baking sheets. The cookies keep well for a couple of days stored in an airtight container.

Tips:

  • Use ripe dates: Softer, riper dates are easier to work with and blend more smoothly. If your dates are dry, soak them in warm water for 10-15 minutes before using.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough for at least 30 minutes helps the cookies hold their shape better and prevents them from spreading too much.
  • Don't overbake the cookies: Oatmeal date sandwich cookies are best when they are slightly chewy in the center. Overbaking can make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before filling them: This will help prevent the filling from melting and making the cookies messy.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal date sandwich cookies are a delicious and healthy treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. Whether you like them plain or filled with your favorite filling, these cookies are sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a sweet and satisfying snack, give oatmeal date sandwich cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
