My mom and grandma made these cookies- I can remember the spicy fragrance of these cookies baking when I would come home from school or in from skating nice and hot with a glass of milk.

Number Of Ingredients 13

NIGHT BEFORE:
4 c quick cooking oatmeal, uncooked
2 c brown sugar,packed
1 c vegetable oil
1/2 c raisins
NEXT MORNING:
2 large eggs
1 tsp almond extract
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/8 tsp cloves
1 pinch nutmeg
1 c chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. Night Before: Combine ingredients in a glass bowl in the evening. Cover overnight on the cupboard.
  • 2. Next Morning: Combine all ingredients with the oatmeal mixture. Drop from a teaspoon or Tablespoon on a lightly greased cookie sheet. Sprinkle tops with cinnamon/sugar, if desired. Bake at 325^ for 15 minutes. Remove from cookie sheet, and cool on wire rack.
  • 3. Note: Chips, crasins, coconut or chopped dried fruits may be added, if desired.

Tips:

  • Use ripe bananas. Ripened bananas add natural sweetness and moisture to the cookies, reducing the need for added sugar and helping to keep them soft and chewy.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and prevent it from spreading too much in the oven.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown. The centers of the cookies will still be soft and chewy when they come out of the oven, but they will continue to firm up as they cool.

Conclusion:

Overnight oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make breakfast or snack that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are a great way to use up ripe bananas and can be customized with a variety of add-ins, such as nuts, seeds, or dried fruit. By following these tips, you can make perfect overnight oatmeal cookies every time.
