Best Oatmeal Craisin Walnut Cookies Recipes

OATMEAL CRAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• In a large bowl or the bowl of your stand mixer cream together the cup of softened butter with 1 cup packed light brown sugar and 1/4 cup sugar until smooth.
• Add the 2 large eggs, 2 tablespoons molasses, and 1 tablespoon vanilla extract then mix into the creamed butter and sugar (use 1 tablespoon of your all-purpose flour if desired to keep the wet mixture from looking curdled).
• Stir in the 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon cinnamon, 1 teaspoon dried orange peel, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
• Mix in the 1 2/3 cups all-purpose flour until all of the flour has been incorporated into the wet ingredients.
• Fold in the 3 cups of old-fashioned rolled oats and 1 1/2 cups of craisins or dried cranberries. Your dough will still be sticky once everything is combined.
• Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking, an hour is optimal.
• Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) and line a baking sheet(s) with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
• Portion out roughly 1/2 tablespoon bits of the dough and roll them into 1-inch balls (use more dough to get the right size dough balls as needed). Place the dough onto your prepared baking sheets leaving about 2 inches of spacing for the cookies to spread.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) with the baking sheet in the center of the middle oven rack. My smaller cookies baked for 10 minutes, larger will take 12-15 minutes. Remove from the oven when the edges are slightly golden and the center of the cookie still looks under-cooked.
• Allow the baked cookies to cool for 5 minutes on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire cooling rack to cool completely.
