Best Loaded Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

LOADED OATMEAL-RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Spread the walnuts on a rimmed baking sheet and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden and fragrant, about 8 minutes. Spread the coconut on another rimmed baking sheet and toast, stirring occasionally, until golden brown, about 5 minutes. Let the nuts and coconut cool. Cover the raisins with hot water in a small bowl; set aside.
• Meanwhile, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and salt together in a small bowl.
• Add the butter, brown sugar and granulated sugar to the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a paddle attachment (or a large bowl if using a hand mixer) and beat on medium speed until creamy. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until incorporated. Beat in the milk and vanilla until blended. Reduce the speed to low and gradually beat in the flour mixture. Beat in the oats, raisins, walnuts and coconut.
• Drop the dough by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake until golden brown, about 12 minutes, switching the positions of the baking sheets halfway through. Cool the cookies on the sheets on wire racks for 1 minute, then transfer to the racks to cool completely.

LOADED OATMEAL COOKIES (PAULA DEEN)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F Lightly grease cookie sheets. With electric mixer cream together butter, shortening and sugar in a bowl until fluffy. Add eggs and beat until mixture is light in color. Add buttermilk (it will appear a little curdled at this stage, don't worry).
• Sift together flour, baking soda, salt, baking powder, ginger, nutmeg,cinnamon, cloves and allspice; stir into creamed mixture. Stir in oatmeal, raisins, walnuts and vanilla, blending well. (Dough will be soft and sticky).
• Drop by rounded teaspoons onto cookie sheet. (I use a small cookie dough scoop that looks like an ice cream scoop--makes this job easy and ensures uniformly rounded cookies).
• Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Oven temperatures and size of cookies you make vary, so check your first batch at least by 9 to 10 minutes.
• For Brown Butter Glaze: In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat, then continue to cook, stirring occasionally until butter is a golden brown.
• Remove pan from heat and stir in the powdered sugar and vanilla. Stir in enough water to make the icing of drizzling consistency. Drizzle over warm cookies.
• *Cook's Note: Paula Deen's original recipe calls for 3 cups of sifted powdered sugar. I found that to be too much. I also found it easier to bake all of the cookies and line them up closely on cooling rack, then make glaze and drizzle cookies all at one time. You get a more consistent glaze this way as it tends to harden as it cools.

SUPER-LOADED OATMEAL COOKIES

Beat the butter and coconut oil in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth, about 2 minutes.

Reduce the mixer speed to low and beat in the flour mixture until just combined. Beat in the oats, coconut, pepitas, sunflower seeds, flax seeds, walnuts and cranberries. Cover the dough with plastic wrap and refrigerate until firm, at least 2 hours.
• Position racks in the upper and lower thirds of the oven; preheat to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll the dough into balls (about 2 tablespoons each) and arrange 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Bake, switching the pans halfway through, until the cookies are golden and dry around the edges, 18 to 20 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer to racks to cool completely.

CHEWY, LOADED, OATMEAL, PEANUT BUTTER BAR "COOKIES"

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350.
• Grease a 12x12 pan that has at least 1" sides (obviously if you use a smaller pan, & make this thicker, you will have to adjust your cooking time).
• Combine- flour, sugars, baking soda, salt and spices in a large mixing bowl.
• In the meantime, melt butter and peanut butter together over low heat, until melted & combined (probably about 4 minutes, or so).
• Make a well in the center of your flour mixture, add vanilla & egg, mix, then add yogurt & molasses & mix, (this will get the egg incorporated before you add the warmer butter mixture), make sure butter/peanut butter is slightly cooled, then add, mix well.
• Add oats, raisins, coconut, this should be fairly easy to combine.
• Transfer mixture to your pan, it's sticky and really easiest to spread using your fingers, make an even layer.
• Bake at 350 for 20-28 minutes.
• Keep checking it, remove from oven when golden, & when you can tell the center is set (depending on your oven, the size of your pan & thus the thickness of your mixture) it may even take 30 minutes or so, but dont overcook it if you want them to be chewy! Remember it will continue to cook & set after you take it out!
• Remove from oven, and let pan stand (I cooled mine while we ate dinner before I cut them).
• Cut into squares, whatever size you desire, I used a pastry cutter (view this image to get an idea of what I'm talking about).
• http://www.atmosenergycooks.com/graphics/utensils/pastry_scraper.gif.
• I just pressed down to cut, then lifted, and moved on down the line, this method is really easiest as it is still pretty sticky.
• If you don't have a pastry cutter, seeing one should give you an idea of what else you can use for this.
• I then put the cut squares into sealed, plastic bags for storage.
• This made about 24, 2x2 squares.
• **It should also be noted that if you take this to a potluck or something, or have company, that since peanut allergies can be so deadly, you should make a little sign to put by it to let people know this has peanut butter in it, since it is not obvious that it does.
