Oatmeal cookies with chocolate and nuts – notes
Recently, my daughter and I have been using our vacation time for baking together. This time, we chose these simple and sweet oatmeal cookies baked with white chocolate and walnuts from Martha Stewart’s “Cookies” cookbook. Here, I’m providing a slightly modified version – I reduced the amount of sugar added to the cookies (they’re sweet enough from the white chocolate) and opted for regular powdered sugar, whereas the author uses granulated sugar and brown sugar. We also decided against adding raisins to the cookies, as my children aren’t fond of them. However, our cookies, baked with coconut flakes, chopped walnuts, and plenty of white chocolate, turned out heavenly. Nicely crispy and yet slightly soft in the middle. Be sure to check out this recipe and bake these cookies for your loved ones. I also recommend my old oatmeal cookies recipe baked with dark chocolate – a great alternative for those who prefer less sweet baked goods.
What ingredients are essential for baking oatmeal cookies?
To bake these oatmeal cookies, you will need a few basic ingredients. Below is a condensed list of the products I used and possible substitutes.
- oat flakes – if you want your oatmeal cookies to be healthy (albo healthier), choose whole grain flakes here – I used mountain oats, instant ones will also be fine, but they are refined and have fewer valuable nutrients
- butter – I used extra butter with 82% fat content; you can optionally choose a butter blend or vegetable butter
- nuts – I baked my cookies with walnuts; however, if you don’t like them or can’t find them anywhere, you can substitute them with hazelnuts, pecans, or even peanuts – if you use salted peanuts, omit adding salt to the dough
- coconut – I used coconut flakes here; if you don’t like coconut, you can omit them; if you don’t have coconut flakes but have regular shredded coconut – use about half a cup of it
- baking soda and baking powder – both baking soda and baking powder are added to the oatmeal cookie dough. If you don’t have baking soda, use a total of 2 teaspoons of baking powder.
What other ingredients can be added to oatmeal cookies?
If you fancy oatmeal cookies with cranberries, add about 1 cup of dried cranberries; you can also add raisins, chopped dried apricots, or dried plums. By adding different dried fruits to oatmeal cookies, you can get a completely new flavor :)
How to store oatmeal cookies with dried fruit?
These oatmeal cookies are best eaten within a few days. To keep them fresh longer and prevent them from hardening, it’s worth transferring them to an airtight container with a lid. Store the cookies on the kitchen counter – not in direct sunlight – and they will be great to eat for a longer period.
You can also freeze these oatmeal cookies for about 3 months :)
