This varies from the traditional oatmeal cookie as it does not have the sweet bite of raisins or chocolate. The nuts have a distinct mellow flavor and combine beautifully with the oats. Pecans could be substituted for the walnuts, if desired. Ingredients:
3 cups old fashioned oats |
1 cup walnuts, chopped |
1 cup all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 1/2 cups brown sugar, packed |
1 cup butter, at room temperature |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2 eggs |
Directions:
1. Heat oven to 350*.
2. Spread oats and walnuts in an ungreased 15 1/2 x 10 1/2 x 1 inch baking pan. Bake 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until toasted and light brown. Cool.
3. In a small bowl, stir together flour, baking soda and salt.
4. In a large bowl, beat together brown sugar, butter, vanilla and eggs.
5. Stir in the oat mixture and then the flour mixture.
6. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto baking sheets sprayed with cooking oil mist.
7. Bake at 350* for 8 to 10 minutes or until golden brown. Cool on pans for 3 minutes; remove from cookie sheet. Cool on wire rack.
