cookie recipe!



A few readers were curious about the oatmeal thumbprint cookie recipe so I thought I would post it! I also added a simple one for almond thumbprint cookies from the same cookbook. Excuse all of the cookie photos...I just couldn't stop!
Oatmeal Thumbprint Cookies
3 Sticks butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2-1/2 cups oats

1 cup raisins
1 cup chopped nuts (optional)
jam

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. Cream butter and sugar until fluffy.
3. Add egg and vanilla, beat well.
4. In a separate bowl, combine dry ingredients, including the raisins and nuts (if using).
5. Add dry ingredients to wet ingredients and blend well.
6. Roll dough into 1- inch balls and place on ungreased cookie sheets.
7. Flatten balls slightly and make a thumbprint in each cookie. Fill with jam.
8. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes.

5. Combine the dry ingredients and then add them to the wet ingredients. Mix well.

  3. Your welcome! I hope they are yummy. The almond cookies can be a bit dry and are best eaten when they are warm. Thanks again for coming by you two? Cheers, a.

  6. Thanks for the recipe, I'm going to try it this week-end!

    I really like your blog, your pictures are beautiful. Also I regret I didn't find your blog a few weeks earlier, because I would have made the paper garland for my daughter's 10 years birthday...

  10. Hello!
    I tried the cookies... they were awesome! The only thing is, that I live in Mexico City and due to the altitude, I needed to bake them about 35-40minutes instead of 15-20 as you recommended.
    Thanks for an amazing recipe.
