Oatmeal Cookies from the Corner Bakery Cafe image

These generous oatmeal cookies are our new favorites; they are big in both size and flavor; chewy and not too sweet. The recipe was published in the reader request column of the Los Angeles Times.

Time 50m

Yield 48 cookies, 48 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 1/2 cups pastry flour (1 pound)
4 teaspoons baking soda
3 tablespoons cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3/4 lb butter (3 sticks)
1 1/4 cups sugar, plus 1 teaspoon
2 1/3 cups brown sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
4 1/2 cups old-fashoned rolled oats
1 cup currants or 1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • Heat the oven to 350 degrees, and in a large bowl, sift together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; set aside.
  • In a large bowl and using a mixer, cream together the butter and sugars until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes; add the eggs one at a time until fully incorporated, then beat in the vanilla; beat in the flour mixture, a spoonful at a time, just until incorporated, then gently fold in the oats and currants (or raisins).
  • Scoop a generous 2 tablespoons of dough into a ball and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet; flatten the ball slightly and repeat, spacing the balls about 3 inches apart (you should be able to fit 6 cookies on a standard-size sheet).
  • Bake until the cookies are golden and set, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating halfway through for even baking; remove and cool the cookies from the sheet, and cool (still on the parchment) on a rack.
