LOADED OATMEAL COOKIES (PAULA DEEN)



Loaded Oatmeal Cookies (Paula Deen) image

I love this yummy little oatmeal cookie packed with nuts and raisins and a wonderful combination of spices and then topped with a drizzle of brown butter glaze. It is another of my favorite Paula Deen (FoodTV) recipes. If you can keep yourself from eating them all the day you make them, they are even better the next day (stored tightly wrapped).

Time 22m

Yield 5 dozen small cookies, 60 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 cup butter, softened (1 stick)
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground ginger
1 teaspoon freshly ground nutmeg
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon ground allspice
2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1 cup raisins
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts or 1 1/2 cups pecans
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup butter
2 -3 cups sifted powdered sugar (see note below)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 -4 tablespoons water

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.

Time 1h30m

Yield 46 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 1/2 cups walnut halves, roughly chopped
1 cup sweetened shredded coconut flakes
1 cup golden raisins
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
2 sticks (16 tablespoons) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/4 cups packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons whole milk
2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 stick unsalted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup loosely packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter (not natural)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
3/4 cup rolled oats
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/2 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup honey-roasted peanuts, roughly chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350˚ F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Beat the butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in a large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until smooth and light, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the peanut butter and mix until smooth. Scrape down the bowl. Add the egg and vanilla and beat until smooth, about 1 minute.
  • Reduce the mixer speed to low. Add the flour, baking soda and salt and mix just until combined. Add the oats and mix just until combined.
  • Combine the dried cranberries, chocolate chips and peanuts in a small bowl. Add all but a few tablespoons of the cranberry mixture to the dough and mix just until combined. Refrigerate the dough until slightly firm, about 15 minutes.
  • Turn out the dough onto the baking sheet. Press into a 9-inch round, about 1/2 inch thick. Sprinkle the top with the reserved dried cranberry mixture and press to adhere. Bake until the cookie is crisp and golden around the edges and set in the center, 22 to 24 minutes. Transfer the pan to a rack and let the cookie cool completely on the pan. Cut into wedges.
