Ginger-Lemon Oatmeal Cookies image

I saw this on Ten Dollar Dinners and it sounded delish. I have it on the menu to make and didn't want to lose it, so posting it here. The flavor is bright and the cookies are soft and chewy. I hope you enjoy, it has rave reviews on the foodnetwork site. You can use smaller scoops to make 30 intead of 15 cookies. One reviewer made these dairy and gluten free by substituting coconut oil (@ room temp coconut oil is in its solid form, in place of butter; adds natural sweetness, eliminates all the cholesterol, All Purpose Gluten Free Flour, and adding 1/4 tsp Xanthan Gum per 1c flour (helps ingredients bind as would gluten. She baked them in a convection oven at 350 degrees for 9 minutes. Recipe courtesy Melissa d'Arabian, Episode: Wallet Friendly Wraps

Time 20m

Yield 15-30 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 14

1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger (can use a little more for more ginger flavor)
1 tablespoon grated lemon zest
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (or use lemon extract or juicce for more lemon flavor)
1 egg
1 cup all-purpose flour (I use 1/4 cup of whole wheat flour and 3/4 cup all purpose flour)
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/2 cup chopped pecans (if you don't want to use nuts, add craisins, raisins, or your favorite dried fruit cut up)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Cream the butter with the sugars in a medium bowl with a hand mixer until light and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add the ginger, zest, vanilla and egg, and mix well.
  • In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt, and then add to the butter mixture and mix. Add the oats and mix until combined. Fold in the pecans with a wooden spoon. Spoon the dough onto baking sheets lined with parchment paper and bake until golden, about 10 minutes. They tend to spread out so do give them room. Let cool 2 minutes, and then remove from the baking sheets.

These cookies were a great success! They were easy to make, and they turned out perfectly. The flavor was amazing - the perfect balance of ginger and lemon. I will definitely be making these again.

I love the idea of these cookies, but I found them to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I might try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These cookies were really easy to make, but they didn't turn out very well. They were too crumbly and didn't hold together well. I'm not sure what went wrong.

I found these cookies to be a bit bland. I think they could use more ginger and lemon flavor. I might also try adding some nuts or dried fruit for extra flavor and texture.

These cookies were a bit too dry for my taste, but the flavor was good. I might try adding some more butter or oil next time.

I'm not usually a big fan of oatmeal cookies, but these were really good! The ginger and lemon added a nice twist, and the oats gave them a hearty texture. I'll definitely be making these again.
