Many people are hesitant to make oatmeal cookies at home, believing that it is too difficult and time-consuming.
Aren't there any cooking tricks?
Therefore, it is worth looking into a recipe that will allow you to prepare excellent cookies that will be soft on the inside and crispy on the outside.
What ingredients are needed for cooking
Before you start cooking, you need to prepare:
1. Oatmeal.
2. Flour.
3. Sugar (you can use either white or brown).
4. Eggs.
5. Butter.
6. Baking powder.
7. Vanilla extract.
8. Salt.
9. Optional: raisins, nuts, chocolate chips.
Of course, the quality of all products is of key importance.
How to mix ingredients together
It is important to first beat the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. This will help create small air bubbles that will give the cookies a crispy exterior.
Then you need to add eggs and vanilla extract, continuing to beat the mixture.
How to add oatmeal correctly
It is best to use coarse or medium ground oats. They give the cookies their characteristic texture and taste.
To achieve a soft core, it is important not to overdo it with the amount of oats - 2 cups for 1 cup of flour is enough.
Forming cookies
Once all the ingredients are mixed, it is important to form the cookies correctly. To do this, you can use a spoon or a special ice cream scraper to measure out equal portions of dough. At the same time, you should press each portion lightly to form even round cookies.
How long to bake
The optimal temperature for baking oatmeal cookies is 175 degrees Celsius. Baking time is about 12-15 minutes.
It is important to keep an eye on the cookies: when the edges start to turn golden and the middle remains soft, it is time to take them out. Do not over-keep the cookies in the oven, otherwise they will become too hard.
Cooling and storage
Finally, take it out of the oven and take it off the baking sheet. It can be eaten warm.
It is better to store in an airtight package at room temperature. It is better not to cook homemade cookies in large quantities.
