My husband and I love to create new variations of this recipe, and this is our favorite. We keep the dough in the freezer and make just a few cookies at a time. That way, there's always dough ready for those times when unexpected guests come by for a visit. -CL Reader Ingredients:
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon baking powder |
1/2 cup granulated sugar |
1/2 cup packed brown sugar |
1/4 cup butter, softened |
2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter |
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract |
1 large egg white |
3/4 cup regular oats |
1/2 cup raisins |
1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350°.
2. Lightly spoon all-purpose flour into a dry measuring cup, and level with a knife. Combine flour and 1/2 teaspoon baking powder in a small bowl, stirring well with a whisk. Place the granulated sugar, brown sugar, butter, peanut butter, vanilla extract, and egg white in a large bowl; beat with a mixer at medium speed until well blended (about 2 minutes). Add flour mixture, 3/4 cup oats, 1/2 cup raisins, and 1/2 cup chocolate chips, stirring until ingredients are well combined. Cover and freeze cookie dough for 10 minutes.
3. Divide cookie dough into 30 equal portions, shaping each one into a ball. Place the dough balls 2 inches apart on baking sheets coated with cooking spray, and flatten dough balls with the bottom of a glass. Bake the dough balls at 350° for 15 minutes. Remove the cookies from pans, and cool completely on wire racks.
