Nancys Oatmeal Cookies Recipes

CHOCOLATE TOFFEE NO-BAKE COOKIES

Steps:

• Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Combine the oats, peanut butter, bitter and semisweet chocolate chips, toffee bits, butter and salt in a medium saucepan. Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently, until the chocolate chips melt, 3 to 5 minutes.
• Scoop heaping tablespoons of batter onto the baking sheet and sprinkle each cookie with extra toffee bits. Freeze for 15 minutes before serving. The cookies can be stored in the refrigerator in an air-tight container for 1 week.

PEANUT BUTTER COOKIES

Steps:

• Line 3 rimmed sheet trays with parchment paper.
• Add the peanut butter, butter and shortening to the bowl of a standing mixer fitted with a paddle attachment, and beat together. Add the brown sugar, and cream until light and fluffy, about 6 minutes. Add the eggs, one at a time, beating well in between each addition. Beat in the vanilla and combine until mixed.
• Whisk the flour, baking soda and 3/4 teaspoon salt together in a medium bowl. Add the flour in 3 additions to the peanut butter mixture, beating until just combined. Stir in the peanut butter chips.
• Use a 1/2-cup ice cream scoop and scoop the cookie batter onto one of the prepared sheet trays. Gently press down the tops of the cookies with a fork making a criss-cross. Sprinkle each cookie with a small pinch of salt and sugar. Place in the refrigerator to firm up, at least 30 minutes.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F.
• Place 6 firmed cookies on each prepared sheet tray, leaving at least 4 inches of space between the cookies. Bake in batches until golden, 18 minutes, rotating the pans halfway through baking.

NANCY'S OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Nancy's note's on Oatmeal cookies; they are called Melanie's Breakfast Scottish Oat Cakes.
• Cream together 2/3 cups butter, 2/3 cups shortening, 1 cup brown sugar.
• 3 cups oatmeal (quick oats work best).
• 1 cup all purpose flour.
• 1 cup oat flour.
• 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp baking soda.
• Work the dough until just mixed and crumbly. Add 1/4 to 1/3 Celsius water slowly as needed and keep mixing a few minutes more until dough comes together in a solid mass, not too dry (where it crumbles from the spoon) and not to wet and sticky.
• (note: the water is important to the crispiness of the oat cakes. If the dough is too wet, add a little more flour rather than omit the water.).
• Scoop the dough by large tablespoons (1 oz. to 2 oz. portions) onto ungreased cookie sheet. Press flat with fingers to 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick. Bake at 350 - 375 degrees for 15 - 20 minutes until golden. Cool briefly and use a spatula to move oatcakes to a cooling rack.
• This recipe makes about 40 small or 20 large oatcakes. Store in a tin to keep crisp.
• Note from Nancy - I rolled the dough into about 1.5" balls and then pressed them flat. I also think the recipe needs more salt. I put in 1/2 teaspoons.
• See you in TX next year!

NANCY'S DELICIOUS OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES RECIPE - (4.2/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350. Combine first 6 ingredients. Cream butter; gradually add sugars, beating until light and fluffy. Add eggs and vanilla: mix well. Gradually stir in dry ingredients, mixing well after each addition. Stir in raisins or chips, if using. Don't use too many; tastes best with just a few. Roll the balls big because there's not much dough to rise with all the Rice Krispies and oatmeal in them. We like these cookies best when they are thick. Always make one test cookie. If it flattens out too much, add more oatmeal and Rice Krispies. Let cookies sit on tray to finish baking. Bake cookies for 10-12 minutes.
