E mbarking on a culinary escapade that combines the joys of baking with a conscious choice towards healthier indulgence – that’s what we’re delving into today with oatmeal cookies. These sweet delights, while still delivering the comforting taste we all adore, come with an added bonus of being a more nutritious alternative to traditional cookies. So, let’s roll up our sleeves and bake these healthier, yet incredibly delicious, oatmeal cookies.
Ingredients
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups oats
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 egg
Method
Preheat oven to 190°C (375°F). In a generously sized bowl, blend together brown sugar, butter, and granulated sugar using an electric mixer. Continue until creamy. Then introduce an egg, some water, and a dash of vanilla extract, and continue to beat until well combined. In another bowl, mix together oats, flour, salt, and baking soda. Gradually add the dry mixture into the creamy one, ensuring it all blends harmoniously.
Roll out dough onto a baking sheet. Slide into the preheated oven and bake for approximately 9 to 11 minutes or once the edges are golden. Once done, cut the cookies into your preferred shape and transfer the cookies to a wire rack to cool down completely. To keep them fresh, store them in an airtight container. Enjoy!
