One Dozen Oatmeal Cookies
I don’t like oatmeal cookies very much. And I hate it when they have raisins. But sometimes, I just get a hankering. And tonight, with rain on the way and me without a functioning heater (I haven’t lit the pilot light yet), oatmeal raisin cookies felt right.
One Dozen Oatmeal Cookies
4 teaspoons unsalted butter – room temperature
1/3 cup sugar
1/3 cup light brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated lemon zest
1 large egg
3/4 cups flour (I used half white spelt flour for kicks)
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
a dash of ground mace
a dash of ground cloves
a dash of cardamom
1/2 cup instant oats
1 cup walnut pieces
1/2 cup sultanas
Preheat oven to 350°F. Beat the butter in a bowl until light and fluffy. Add both sugars, salt, zest, and vanilla and cream together, about three minutes with an electric mixer. Add egg and beat until mixed. Add the flour, baking soda, and spices and mix on low spead until just combined. Mix in the oats, walnuts, and sultanas. Drop tablespoons of dough onto a cookie sheet and bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden.
