Time 55m

Yield 16 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/3 cups rolled oats
1/2 cup sweetened flake coconut
1/2 cup chopped salted cashews
2 tablespoons honey
3/4 cup (95 grams) all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 stick (4 ounces) unsalted butter, at room temperature

Coarse kosher salt, for sprinkling

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Mix together the oats, coconut and cashews in a large bowl, then drizzle with the honey. Mix to combine, then spread on one of the prepared cookie sheets.

SALTY OATMEAL COOKIES



Salty Oatmeal Cookies image

I've used this recipe for years & it has become my DH's favorite! I was never a fan of oatmeal cookies -but- I became a convert! The idea of the salty/sweet combination may seem odd but is to die for! Use your imagination when it comes to the optional add-ins for these cookies. I've tried both chocolate chips and raisins, both delicious...

Time 30m

Yield 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 13

3/4 cup unsalted butter (COLD)
1 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
2 cups rolled oats
kosher salt
chocolate chips (optional)
raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 (rack on the 2nd position from top).
  • Slice "cold" unsalted butter into small pieces and whip in your mixer for a minute or so. Because it's cold it will stick a bit, but don't fret -- scrape and mix.
  • Add both sugars, baking powder, baking soda and the cinnamon. With mixer combine at medium speed until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
  • Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again until combined.
  • With mixer on low speed, slowly add flour. If your mixer sounds like it's over-working, you may have to continue by hand and use a spoon.
  • DON'T OVER MIX or cookies will get tough!
  • Gently fold in the oats, and optional add-ins of chocolate chips or raisins.
  • Chill the dough for at least an hour.
  • Drop dough by the heaping tablespoon onto cookie sheet.
  • "Lightly" sprinkle cookies with Kosher salt.
  • Bake on 2nd rack from top at 375 for 12-15 minutes. (Cookies should still be soft to the touch).
  • Carefully transfer them to a cooling rack and enjoy!

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 24 cookies, 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup unbleached all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon table salt
14 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened but still cool, about 65 degrees (1 3/4 sticks)
1 cup granulated sugar (7 ounces)
1/4 cup light brown sugar, packed (1 3/4 ounces)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (see note)
1/2 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 large (18- by 12-inch) baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl.
  • In standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars at medium-low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute longer. Scrape down bowl with rubber spatula.
  • Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl again.
  • With mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture and mix until just incorporated and smooth, 10 seconds.
  • With mixer still running on low, gradually add oats and mix until well incorporated, 20 seconds. Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
  • Divide dough into 24 equal portions, each about 2 tablespoons (or use #30 cookie scoop), then roll between palms into balls.
  • Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart, 8 dough balls per sheet (see note above). Using fingertips, gently press each dough ball to 3/4-inch thickness. Lightly sprinkle sea salt evenly over flattened dough balls before baking.
  • Bake 1 sheet at a time until cookies are deep golden brown, edges are crisp, and centers yield to slight pressure when pressed, 13 to 16 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through.
  • Transfer baking sheet to wire rack; cool cookies completely on sheet.

OATMEAL COOKIES



Oatmeal Cookies image

This is a no-nonsense oatmeal cookie recipe-no raisins, chocolate chips, nuts, or anything else that might divert attention from the comforting classic.

Provided by The Gourmet Test Kitchen

Time 35m

Yield Makes 24 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 10

1¾ cups old-fashioned rolled oats
¾ cup all-purpose flour
¾ teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon salt
1¼ sticks unsalted butter, softened
⅓ cup packed light brown sugar
⅓ cup granulated sugar
1 large egg
½ teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°F. Grease and line 2 baking sheets with parchment.
  • Stir together oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl. Beat together butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a stand mixer or in large bowl with a hand mixer until light and fluffy. Add egg and vanilla and beat until combined well. Add flour mixture and beat until just combined.
  • Drop dough by heaping tablespoons 2 inches apart onto prepared baking sheets and flatten mounds slightly with moistened fingers. Bake cookies in upper and lower thirds of oven, switching position of sheets halfway through baking, until golden, about 12 minutes total. Transfer to wire racks to cool.

Tips:

  • Choose the right oats. For a chewy cookie, use old-fashioned oats. For a crispier cookie, use quick-cooking oats. You can also use a combination of the two.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at a high temperature. This will help them develop a crispy exterior and a chewy interior.
  • Don't overbake the cookies. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. Bake them just until they are golden brown around the edges.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before enjoying them. This will allow them to firm up and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Sweet and salty oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With their combination of chewy oats, sweet chocolate chips, and salty pretzels, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty snack, give these cookies a try!
