These Oatmeal Craisin Cookies are a delicious twist on an old favorite. They’re chocked full of Craisins and toasted pecans, not to mention the healthy oats.
I used the following ingredients for the Oatmeal Craisin Cookies: Unsalted butter, granulated sugar, light brown sugar, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, cider vinegar, egg, baking soda, all-purpose flour, old-fashioned oats, Craisins, and pecans. I know that it seems like a lot of ingredients, but they come together very quickly.
To make the Oatmeal Craisin Cookies, the first thing I do is preheat the oven to 350° F. Then I beat together the butter, sugars, vanilla extract, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt, and vinegar. I know that vinegar may seem like an odd ingredient, however it helps cut down on the sweetness and helps give the baking soda a boost. Then I beat in the egg until the mixture was smooth. I then added the baking soda and flour, and beat the mixture until everything was well incorporated.
Next I added the oats, Craisins, and pecans (that I had toasted). Then I stirred the mixture until everything was well combined.
Using my 1¾-inch ice cream scoop, I dropped the dough balls into a parchment lined baking sheet. I took each dough ball, rolled it between my hands, and flattened it to about ½-inch.
I popped the Oatmeal Craisin Cookies Into a preheated 350° F oven 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, they were golden brown around the edges and perfectly cooked. I transferred the cookies to a wire rack to cool.
I ended up with 28 incredible Oatmeal Craisin Cookies. There may have been more if I hadn’t sampled the cookie dough. Yum!
