LUXURY OATMEAL COOKIES

SHARE:

I used to covet Oatmeal Cookies for their chewy, sticky and sweetness, but I stopped liking them for their raw, chewy and sticky sweetness. Funny how we change. While Rose’s cookies don't have that raw oat character, and they aren't sticky really, they are still too sweet for me. I just didn't fall off my chair for them. Rick described them as pillowy, and he's right. If you are an oatmeal cookie lover, I expect you will love this recipe, but I could take them or leave them.

  • This granola had that raw, soggy oatmeal thing going on. If I had left it in the oven longer, I'm sure it would have been more to my taste. I also want to note that the recipe yielded just over 4 cups, not 5 like the book indicated. Maybe I did something wrong? Dunno.

COOKIE DOUGH

  • I should probably note that I didn't use raisins, but dried prunes instead simply because I had them on hand.

  • I really didn't feel like separating the dough into thirds and wrapping each piece in plastic, so I left the dough in the mixing bowl and covered the bowl with plastic. The next day, I spooned some dough onto the counter, put the bowl back in the fridge

  • I should also note that I REALLY enjoyed the raw cold dough. I definitely liked it better than the baked cookie.

BAKE THE COOKIES

  • I had difficulty determining when the cookies were done. They were certainly brown along the edges, and soft in the center, and I knew they needed to be chewy when cool, but I didn't want them to be raw. How soft is too soft was the burning question. So I erred on the side of softer.

They looked done to me.

Now I can see your photos..:) These look wonderful! It is cake like cookies isn't it? But I prefer cookies-cookies..not cake like cookies even though they are still delicious.

Beautiful stack of cookies. You were such a pro handling these cookies like a boss! I had to bake my granola for way longer than the recipe stated to get the oats cooked properly.

No fear here! I fail when I'm afraid.

Your cookies look so nice and plump. I like cookies like these to be crisp so I erred on the side of brown. At least they weren't too complicated to make.

Kimberlie 2017-01-08

Honestly, I prefer crispy cookies, but every once in a while, a chewy one works!

They look great! Love the egg shot too.

Kimberlie 2017-01-08

The egg shot was silly

Raymond   2017-01-08

These look wonderful, as does all of your baked goods. I am always in awe of your beautiful finished products. I loved them too and you know how much I hate to make cookies. The granola was a major hit with me.

Kimberlie 2017-01-08

Hi Raymond, thank you for leaving a comment! And thanks for your nice words.

Vicki   2017-01-08

Prunes! Brilliant! So French. Your cookies look perfect in your lovely photos. Well, at least it saves some points.

Kimberlie 2017-01-08

Hi Vicki, thank so much. BTW, each of these cookies are 4 points. Not so bad.
