How to make oatmeal cookies - Easy Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe
Hello and welcome back to in the kitchen with matt; I am your host Matt Taylor.
Today we are making oatmeal cookies mmm, yummy; I had a request from someone to make oatmeal
cookies, so that is what we are going to do.
For the tools and ingredients what I will do is put a description, in the description
down below that will have all the amounts listed.
Let's get baking, ok first what we are going to do is we are going to crack our eggs, and
put them in this bowl, ok now we are going to go ahead and whisk these up real well.
Ok after you have your eggs beaten, what we are going to do is we are going to add our
raisins to the egg mixture.
Ok and we are going to go ahead and soak these, so we are going to let these soak for about
a half hour.
And what it is going to do is it is going to keep the raisins nice and soft, when they
are baking in the oatmeal cookies, pretty cool, otherwise, what happens is the raisins
tend to dry out, and they get burnt, and things like that, and they don't taste very good.
So that is what we are going to do, we will just leave this here, for 30 minutes.
Once we have soaked the raisins lets go ahead and preheat the oven to 350 degrees.
Now lets go ahead and cream the butter with the sugars, and our vanilla extract.
Now to our flour we will just go ahead and add our cinnamon, our baking soda, and our
salt.
We will go ahead and whisk that together a little bit, you can also sift it all together
if you like.
And now what we are going to do go ahead and add this little by little to our mixture.
Ok then after about half of the flour has been added, we are going to go ahead and add
our raisins and our egg.
And at this point we are going to do everything the rest of it by hand, clean the beaters.
And go ahead and take a wooden spoon and let's go ahead and just hand mix everything now.
We will add some more of the flour.
Try not to get it everywhere.
The rest of our flour, and we will also add in our oatmeal.
And we want to mix it all together.
All right and once we are done we will have quite a bit of cookie dough here, enough to
make a lot of cookies.
And I just usually take a tablespoon and come in here and just form it into a little cookie
shape like that, and go ahead and put it on an ungreased baking sheet.
Whatever size you want, ok and then when you are done, putting them on the baking sheet,
go ahead and bake them for 10 to 12 minutes until they are nice and golden brown.
Okay and when they are done they will look like this.
Go ahead and let them sit and cool.
And you can put them on a cookie rack if you want.
All right and that is how you make oatmeal cookies, mmm, awesome, really easy to do,
if I can do it, you can do it.
