OPTIONAL MIX-INS

I love a plain oatmeal cookie, but if you want to jazz up your oatmeal cookies, you can add up to 1 cup of the following ingredients:

• Chocolate chips (dark or white)
• Chocolate chunks (dark or white)
• Chopped nuts
• Dried fruits, such as raisins or dried cranberries
• M&M’s
• Flaked coconut
• Chopped toffee
• Cinnamon chips
• Butterscotch chips

TIPS TO MAKE EGGLESS OATMEAL COOKIES:

• Make sure the butter is softened, but not too soft.
• Measure the ingredients properly! A kitchen scale is always the best option, in my opinion, but if you don’t have a kitchen scale be sure to use a measuring cup made for dry ingredients (NOT liquid measuring cup), and liquid measuring cup for liquid ingredients. Also, do NOT dip a measuring cup directly into the flour bin or you can compact it and get up to 25% more flour, instead use a spoon to scoop the flour into the measuring cup and then use a knife (straight-edged) to level the flour across the measuring cup.
• Don’t over mix your cookie dough or you will end up with a dense cookie.
• Chill the dough for 30 minutes before baking, this gives the dough a chance to firm up a little and allows them to bake much better.
• For evenly sized cookies (better for baking) use a small spring-loaded ice cream scoop to spoon out the dough.
• Bake the cookies until they are JUST golden around the outside. The cookies might still look a little raw in the center, but once they cool, they will be perfect. Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for just a few minutes, around 2. If you leave the cookies on the baking sheets for too long, they will continue cooking and they will be hard.

HOW TO STORE EGGLESS OATMEAL COOKIES

Store cookies in an airtight container up to 5 days at room temperature. To keep the cookies soft, place a piece of bread in the container. The bread will get hard, but the cookies will stay soft.

HOW TO FREEZE EGGLESS OATMEAL COOKIES

You can freeze this cookie dough for up to 3 months. Just roll it into balls, and freeze. When ready to bake, pull them out and bake as directed, just add a couple of minutes to the baking time.

Prep Time 15 mins

Cook Time 12 mins

chilling time 30 mins

Total Time 57 mins

Servings 24 28 cookies (depending how big you roll them)

Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 1 ½ cups (210 gr) all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking powder
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ cup (118 gr) unsalted butter, softened
• ½ cup (100 gr) granulated sugar
• ½ cup (94 gr) brown sugar
• ¼ cup milk
• 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
• 1 ½ cups (150 gr) old-fashioned rolled oats

Instructions

 

• Combine flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon and salt in a bowl. Set aside.
• Beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large mixer bowl over medium speed until smooth and creamy. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed.
• Add milk and vanilla; mix until incorporated. Reduce speed to low and gradually beat in flour mixture until combined. Stir in oats until evenly distributed.
• Use a small cookie scoop (1.5 to 2 TBS) to measure out the oatmeal cookie dough. Roll each portion into a smooth ball and place on a cookie sheet or large plate. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes up to 2 days.
• Preheat oven to 350° F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or silicone baking mat.
• Place the cooled cookies balls evenly spaced, about 2 inches apart, on your prepared cookie sheet.
• Bake for 10-12 minutes, until barely golden brown around the edges, but still soft in the middle. When you remove the cookies from the oven, they will still look doughy and that is okay they will continue to set as they cool.
• Cool on baking sheets for 2 minutes; remove to wire racks to cool completely.

Oriana’s Notes

 

OATS: For these oatmeal cookies, I use and recommend old-fashioned whole oats. They provide the ultimate hearty, chewy, thick texture we love!

 

OPTIONAL MIX-INS

Yes, you can, just keep in mind that it will change the texture of the oatmeal cookies.
