Instant Oats- 1½ cups( I used Quaker instant oats)
All-purpose flour-1/2 cup
Baking powder-1/2 tsp
Vanilla extract-1tsp
Raisins-1/4 cup
Walnuts or pecans or almonds, chopped-1/4 cup
Brown sugar-3/4 cup
Butter( softened, unsalted)-1 stick or 8 tbsp or ½ cup
Instructions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F or 175 C.
In a large bowl, combine the instant oats, flour, baking powder, vanilla extract, raisins and walnuts or pecans.
Cream the butter and sugar well till smooth in a stand mixer with paddle attachment or using an electric hand mixer.
Add the dry ingredients into the creamed butter-sugar mix. Beat the mixture at low speed for a minute or till incorporated.
Make medium sized balls, flatten it between the palm of your hands and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Don't crowd the cookies while placing them on the baking sheet. Leave enough space, the cookies will expand while baking.
Bake for 20 minutes.
After 20 minutes, take the baking sheet out of the oven.
The cookies won't be firm enough when it is taken out of the oven, allow them to cool down for 15 minutes, will turn firm and crispy as they cool down.
Enjoy these delicious oats cookies with a cup of coffee or tea.
