Trying for my perfect oatmeal cookie
Comments (54)Cranberry Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies A modified version of the Quaker Oats VORC (look under the lid). As with all cookie recipes, freezing your chocolate chips and cranberries will make a huge difference in the finished cookie. The chips will hold together under heat and cranberries won't puree in the mixer. Let these cookies cool completely! Ingredients: 2 sticks unsalted butter 1 cup packed dark brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 2 teaspoons vanilla 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour 3 cups Quaker Oats - regular, not the instant or overnight 1 tsp baking soda 1 cup chocolate chips - not minis 2 cups cranberries Process: Cream both sugars and the butter until soft and fluffy Add the eggs and vanilla and mix Mix the flour, baking soda, cranberries, and chocolate chips in a large bowl and then add to the mixer and combine at low speed for a minute at most Add the oatmeal and combine at low speed Preheat the oven to 350 degrees and line two baking sheets with parchment paper Roll the dough into 1" to 1-1/2" balls and place on the baking sheets Flatten them if you want crispy cookies, otherwise leave them as balls to get chewy centers Bake 13-15 minutes or until the edges start to get brown Cool completely on racks. Yields around 3 dozen cookies...See MoreLOOKING for: oatmeal cookies
Comments (12)Here's another Quaker Oatmeal recipe that I found in "Everyday FOOD" January/February 2007 (from the kitchens of Martha Stewart Living). I just made these today and you could put any type of dried fruit in place of the dried cherries - or leave the fruit out entirely and you'd still have a great cookie. These are nice and soft with a nice undertone of spice. -Grainlady Chewy Cherry-Oatmeal Cookies 1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened OR 1 c. apple butter (for a healthier alternative) 1 c. packed light-brown sugar 1/4 c. honey 2 large eggs 1-1/2 t. vanilla extract 1-1/4 c. all-purpose flour 1-1/2 t. cinnamon 1 t. baking soda 1/4 t. freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 t. salt 3 c. Quaker old-fashioned rolled oats 1 c. dried cherries 1. Preheat oven to 350°F. Line 2 baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt; set aside. Place the butter, sugar, and honey in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat to combine. With the mixer on low, gradually add reserved flour mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in oats and cherries. 3. Drop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Makes about 4 dozen. (Note of experience: allow mixture to sit, refrigerated, for 20 minutes before baking. You could easily add 1 c. chopped walnuts, if you'd like.) My high-fiber, no-sugar changes... (changes have a *) 1 c. butter *1 c. agave nectar (natural, low-glycemic sweetener) 2 large eggs 1-1/2 t. vanilla 3/4 c. all-purpose flour *3/4 c. freshly-milled soft white wheat flour *3 T. flaxmeal 1-1/2 t. ground cinnamon (I used Penzey's Chinese Cassia) 1 t. soda 1/4 t. freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 t. salt 3 c. Quaker old-fashioned rolled oats 1 c. dried cherries *1 c. chopped walnuts...See MoreGrandma's Chewy Molasses Cookies
Comments (16)LOL, Bragu, thanks for the numbers. (grin) FOAS, I don't make them nearly as often as I used to, and the batch makes so many that I just freeze balls of dough on sheet pans then dump them into ziplock bags and keep them in the freezer. I was out, but I'm not any more, and now I have some for next week when Mother comes to stay for a few days. Plus my stepdaughter's husband says they are the best cookie he's ever had and they are coming to visit around Thanksgiving, so I can have some in the freezer all ready to bake.. Cloud Swift, I hope you heal up quickly and completely. Cookies are good medicine, be sure to eat lots! edie, I know that molasses cookies are kind of "old fashioned", but I still like them the best. LindaC, she seemed to be able to handle cookies with both hands and mentioned that she could use some help with an upcoming bake sale. She's definitely not able to bake anything. No good deed goes unpunished... Chloebud, I have to get my baking fix somehow, plus practice for Christmas! Sheilajoyce, My nickname wasn't nearly that nice, LOL, but I do like cookies. And, it gave us enough energy to finish up those QuickBooks, so it was a pretty good day. Annie...See MoreHELP! Roof dilemma! Architect mistake!
Comments (36)@roccouple— yes you are exactly correct. That is a staircase and that’s why the headers don’t align. We also can’t move that bottom staircase window... because it’s as far down as it can go. They are “switchback” stairs and there is a landing in between those windows. I asked about one long window there— but the landing would be then be visible. But, we decided to do exactly what you said... that top window with the flap will move down about 2 ft or so. Then another window will go on that right side to be even with that one. We will move the last window on the house to be even with the lower staircase window. That should help with symmetry also. .... and after doing that— if we need to— we will move that upper center window (either up or down).. not sure until we see the other stuff. Thanks for your advice! Greatly appreciated....See Morebbstx
