Oatmeal, Raisin, Pecan Cookies
I prefer home baked cookies rather than buying them from the store.  There are many bakeries that do a fantastic job with cookies because they are so easy to make.   The problem is the price.  Good cookies in a bakery are sold by "each" price.  I made some cookies and decided to share my process.  These cookies are made the way that I like to eat mine.  My best friend likes soft cookies, but  I prefer crunchy cookies.

The ingredients that you use determine the texture of the cookie.  You have to use old fashioned rolled oats and not instant oatmeal.  I bought my oatmeal from a local farmers market but you can also use name brand "old fashion" oats.

You will need 2 sticks of butter, 1 packed cup of brown sugar, 1/2 cup of regular sugar (raw or white), 2 eggs, 1 tablespoon of vanilla extract,  1 1/2 cup of unbleached flour, 3/4 tsp salt, 1 tsp baking soda, 1 tsp ground cinnamon, 1/2 tsp nutmeg, 1 cup raisins (more or less to your taste) 1 cup chopped pecans (more or less) and 3 cups of rolled oats.

This recipe has been adapted from the original recipe from Quaker Oats many years ago.

The order that you follow when mixing ingredients is usually the same.  You start off creaming your butter and sugar by beating them together.  Add beaten eggs and the vanilla next, add all other dry ingredients except the oats, raisins and pecans.  Finally fold into the mixture, the oats, raisins and chopped pecans.

I place parchment paper in my cookie sheet, and then add about a rounded tablespoon full of cookie dough spaced out a couple of inches so that the cookies have room to spread as they bake.

You can bake them anywhere from 10 - 14 minutes.  The variation will depend on how large you make your cookies and also whether you place the cookies directly on a hot greased cookie sheet or on parchment paper.

This is a view of the cookie in the oven after a minute or so because I forgot to take a picture.  Notice that the butter is already glistening.

The finished product is enough to last for a while plus you can freeze or refrigerate the raw cookie dough to make some later.  I always bake enough to fill two cookie sheets and then save the rest of the raw dough for another day.

I love oatmeal cookies but I don't like to eat oatmeal as a cereal for breakfast.  If you think about it though, they do have eggs in them.  :)  To each his own.

Bon Appetit!

I agree.  I love making my own cookies and sharing them with friends and family who don’t bake.
