THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Mix 1 cup plus 1 tablespoon flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt in a bowl.
• Place cold butter in a microwave-safe bowl and heat until soft, but not melted, 20 to 30 seconds. Add brown sugar and white sugar; mix with a metal whisk or spoon for 45 seconds. Add egg, vanilla extract, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix for 20 seconds. Pour in dry ingredients and mix for 10 to 20 seconds. Fold in oats and raisins for 30 seconds.
• Roll cookie dough into small balls, about 1 1/2 inches in diameter. Space cookie balls 3 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
• Bake in the preheated oven until tops are golden brown and edges are crisp, 13 to 15 minutes.

SALTY THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Adjust oven rack to middle position and heat oven to 350 degrees. Line 3 large (18- by 12-inch) baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in medium bowl.
• In standing mixer fitted with paddle attachment, beat butter and sugars at medium-low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds. Increase speed to medium and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute longer. Scrape down bowl with rubber spatula.
• Add egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds. Scrape down bowl again.
• With mixer running at low speed, add flour mixture and mix until just incorporated and smooth, 10 seconds.
• With mixer still running on low, gradually add oats and mix until well incorporated, 20 seconds. Give dough final stir with rubber spatula to ensure that no flour pockets remain and ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Divide dough into 24 equal portions, each about 2 tablespoons (or use #30 cookie scoop), then roll between palms into balls.
• Place cookies on prepared baking sheets, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart, 8 dough balls per sheet (see note above). Using fingertips, gently press each dough ball to 3/4-inch thickness. Lightly sprinkle sea salt evenly over flattened dough balls before baking.
• Bake 1 sheet at a time until cookies are deep golden brown, edges are crisp, and centers yield to slight pressure when pressed, 13 to 16 minutes, rotating baking sheet halfway through.
• Transfer baking sheet to wire rack; cool cookies completely on sheet.

THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 350.
• Line 3 large baking sheets with parchment paper (I skipped this step, and the cookies didn't stick to the pans).
• Whisk the flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• In a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter and sugars at medium-low speed until just combined, about 20 seconds.
• Increase the speed to medium and continue to beat until light and fluffy, about 1 minute longer.
• Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula.
• Add the egg and vanilla and beat on medium-low until fully incorporated, about 30 seconds.
• Scrape down the bowl again. With the mixer running at low speed, add the flour mixture and mix until just incorporated, and smooth, about 10 seconds.
• With the mixer still running at low speed, gradually add the oats and mix until well incorporated, about 20 seconds.
• Give the dough a final stir with the rubber spatula to ensure that no packets remain and the ingredients are evenly distributed.
• Divide the dough into 24 equal portions, each about 2 tablespoons, then roll between the palms of your hands into balls.
• Place the cookies on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart, 8 dough balls per sheet. Using your fingertips, gently press each dough ball into 3/4 inch thickness.
• Bake one sheet at a time until the cookies are deep golden brown, the edges are crisp, and the centers yield to slight pressure when pressed, 13 to 16 minutes, rotating the baking sheet halfway through baking.
• Transfer the baking sheet to a wire rack and let the cookies cool completely before serving.

THIN AND CRISPY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 325°F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
• Whisk together the flour mix, xanthan gum, baking powder, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl.
• In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, combine the shortening, granulated sugar, and brown sugar, mixing on low speed for about 20 seconds. Increase the speed to medium and continue beating for about 1 minute longer, or until light and fluffy.
• Add the "flax egg" and vanilla and mix to combine, about 20 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the bowl.
• Add the flour mixture and beat on low speed until just combined.
• Add the oats and mix on low speed for about 20 seconds.
• Use a 2-tablespoon scoop (either a #30 cookie scoop or a coffee scoop) to scoop out the dough and place on the baking sheet. Roll the scooped dough into balls, spacing them about 2 1/2 inches apart on the baking sheet. This works best if you put 3 down each side and 2 in the middle. Flatten the cookies into disks with the palm of your hand, the thinner the better.
• Bake in the center of the oven for 18 minutes, or until lightly golden, rotating the baking sheet halfway through. Transfer the baking sheet to a cooling rack. Let cool for about 5 minutes before transferring the cookies to the rack. Let cool completely. Repeat with the remaining dough.

THIN AND CRISPY SALTED OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, baking soda and salt. In a large bowl, cream together butter and sugars until mixture is creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla, followed by the flour mixture. Stir in the oatmeal, mixing just until the oats are well-distributed and no streaks of dry ingredients remain in the batter. Shape dough into 1 inch balls and arrange on baking sheet, leaving about 2-inches between them to allow for spread. Gently flatten each ball (so it is approx 1/2 as high) with your fingertips, then sprinkle cookies with coarse salt. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until cookies are golden brown and cooked through. Allow to cool for 2-3 minutes on the baking sheet, then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely.
