We came into alot of Quaker oats oatmeal, so I think it would be good to make oatmeal cookies, any body have?

Any good quick and easy recipes?



G'day from WA


Here in Australia we have great cookies called Anzacs.


This is how you make them:


INGREDIENTS


1 cup rolled oats


3/4 cup desiccated coconut


1 cup plain flour


1 cup sugar


125g (4oz) butter


2 tablespoons golden syrup


1/2 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda


1 tablespoon water





Preheat oven to 300F (150C)





Mix oats, flour, sugar and coconut together.


Melt syrup and butter together.


Mix soda with boiling water and add to melted butter and syrup.


Add to dry ingredients.


Place 1 tablespoonfuls of mixture on greased tray (allow room for spreading).


Bake for 20 minutes.


Loosen while warm, cool on trays.


(makes about 35)





.............





You can also put a cup of oats in the dry ingredients when you are making muffins for breakfast.





Ingredients:





* 1 cup flour


* 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed


* 2 tsp baking powder


* 1 tsp pumpkin pie spice


* 1/4 tsp baking soda


* 3/4 cup canned pumpkin


* 1 large egg, slightly beaten


* 1/4 cup milk


* 1/4 cup sunflower oil


* 1 cup rolled oats


* 1/2 cup roasted sunflower seeds


* TOPPING:


* 1 tbsp margarine, melted


* 1/3 cup brown sugar


* 3 tbsp sunflower seeds


* 1 tbsp flour


* 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice





Preparation:


Pre-heat oven to 425 degrees. Prepare a muffin pan for 12 muffins.





Combine flour, sugar, baking powder, pumpkin pie spice and soda. Mix well.





In a separate bowl, combine pumpkin, egg, milk and oil; add to dry ingredients and stir only until ingredients are combined. Stir in oats and sunflower seeds. Fill muffin cups 3/4 full with batter.





You can top these pumpkin muffins with an optional sweet topping. To prepare the topping, combine the topping ingredients (1 tbsp margarine, 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3 tbsp sunflower seeds, 1 tbsp flour and 1/4 tsp pumpkin pie spice) until crumbly. Sprinkle over the muffins before baking.





Bake 18 to 20 minutes.





Servings: 12 muffins








Hope this helps.




I do the same thing Jenny does, use the recipe on the box. I do one thing different though, I add these little mini cinnamon chips that I found at the grocery store near the chocolate chips! If they don't have them now, make sure to look for them in the fall, and stock up with a few in the freezer, they work great in pancakes, muffins, scones, and cheesecake crusts also!


My family also uses oats in savory recipes. Since meat is so expensive, I make my ground beef/chicken/turkey go further by substituting 1/4 of the meat called for in the recipe with oats. It works awesome in manwiches, tacos, casseroles etc... and it adds tons of whole grains to your diet quite easily and it is rarely noticed by picky eaters!




O yeah. These are my favorite cookie. Even better than Toll House chocolate chip! & if you have a coffee grinder, gr5ind up some oatmeal to use instead of flour. Makes 'em real tasty.





Ingredients


1 cup vegetable shortening


1 cup sugar


1 cup brown sugar


2 eggs


1 teaspoon vanilla


1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour


1 teaspoon baking soda


1 teaspoon salt


3 cups oats


1 cup raisins


1 cup chopped nuts (optional)





Preparation





Preheat oven to 350F.





Beat shortening, sugar, brown sugar until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla. Mix well. Combine flour, baking soda & salt. Add to shortening mixture. Mix well. Stir in oats, raisins & nuts.


Using rounded tablespoons, roll into balls. Place 2 inches apart on cookie sheet. Flatten with fork Bake 10 to 15 minutes.





Makes 5 dozen.




Soften the butter first, add sugar and egg and vanilla, then mix the flour with baking soda (about 1/2 tsp.) and add oats (2 1/2 cups, to 1 cube butter, and 1 tsp. vanilla,





I don't generally go by a recipe. I go by the texture of the dough but do a good guess about how much. So make the flour like 1 cup. I add cinnamon and cloves, raisins and choc. drops and chopped walnuts if I have them. The dough should be fairly buttery cause they turn out better if they spread out well I think but not too much. However, there is a recipe on the Quaker oats box usually. It calls for 3 cups of oats. But it's too oaty that way and doesn't spread out enough for me. So, if you don't want to experiment, just look up a recipe.





basic guesses:


1 egg


1 cube butter


1 cup sugar


2 1/2 cups of oatmeal


1 cup flour


1/8 tsp. salt


1 tsp. cinn.


1/4 tsp. cloves


1/2 tsp. baking soda





If it's not sweet enough for you, add another 1/2 cup sugar. God bless you.





Optional: Chips, raisins and walnuts to your taste.




I don't have any cookie recipes at the moment. But try this.


I like to put oatmeal in the blender and make it into oat flour, which it will do pretty well, them use it to bread fried chicken. It is really delicious, and better for you i believe. Same for frying fish. I use it in meatloaf too.


Also banana bread, which i make like a pound cake.


how's that?




Honestly my favorite is the recipe right on the Quaker oatmeal box/canister, the "vanishing oatmeal raisin cookies". They're simple and easy and turn out perfectly every time.




look on the box of Quaker Oats,...they have the original oatmeal cookie recipie, we add walnuts, white chocalate chips etc...then you can freeze them so they last ...


makes great presents and nice 'friendly' gifts for your neighbors!
