From 0521b190e21e2661d828b9c7c2c16daabc8d6408 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alan Orth Date: Thu, 1 Dec 2016 11:43:43 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] oatmeal-cookies.md: New recipe So much tastier, maybe because of the increased cinnamon, vanilla, and oats. The baking time is a bit long, so I usually set the timer for 15 minutes and check them. --- oatmeal-cookies.md | 38 +++++++++++++++++++++----------------- 1 file changed, 21 insertions(+), 17 deletions(-) diff --git a/oatmeal-cookies.md b/oatmeal-cookies.md index 5a64142..b435c1b 100644 --- a/oatmeal-cookies.md +++ b/oatmeal-cookies.md @@ -1,27 +1,31 @@ # Oatmeal cookies -Originally from: http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/oatmeal-cookies-102276 +Originally from: http://www.wsj.com/articles/recipe-oatmeal-raisin-cookies-1442345556 Makes: 24 ## Ingredients -- 1 3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats -- 3/4 cup all-purpose flour -- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda -- 3/4 teaspoon cinnamon -- 1/2 teaspoon salt -- 1 1/4 sticks unsalted butter, softened (140g?) -- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar -- 1/3 cup granulated sugar -- 1 large egg -- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla +- 1 cup raisins +- 1¼ cups all-purpose flour +- 1 tablespoon plus 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon +- 2 teaspoons baking soda +- 1½ teaspoons fine sea salt +- 1½ sticks slightly softened butter +- 1 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed +- 6 tablespoons granulated sugar +- 2 cups old-fashioned or rolled oats +- 1 extra-large egg +- 1½ teaspoons vanilla extract ## Method -Preheat oven to 375°F/190°C.
