right off the bat, I’ll confess to not coming up with this recipe in anyway. not only that, I have also forgotten where I got it from. so, someone, somewhere, I’m sorry for ripping you off. I find this recipe is fairly versatile as far and the chunks-of-something you can add into them. I prefer diced apple or dried blueberries, but raisins or chocolate chips or nuts or cranberries and orange zest would probably be pretty nice as well.
spread out before you is:
1 1/4 c rolled oats
1 c all-purpose flour
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c unsalted butter, at room temp
3/4 cup sugar
2 tbsp molasses
1 egg
1 tsp vanilla extract
2/3 cup dried blueberries (or some other fruit, nuts, etc. chopped [if necessary] into smallish pieces)
. set le oven to 350
. cream the butter, sugar, vanilla, and molasses. add the egg and stir until it’s smooth
. combine all the dry ingredients except for your fruit addition
. dump the dry into the wet and add the fruit or nut selection. stir until all combined and there aren’t any dry bits of oaty flour
. form the dough into whatever sized cookies you like to eat. they won’t spread out much, so keep that in mind when it comes to the thickness you desire. or you could mash it all together on one sheet and bake as a giant cookie you can cut into bars or wedges
. bake for 16-20 minutes depending on how crispy or soft you want them. they should be golden on the edges and cooked through in the middle, but not hard
