Homemade Spiced Oatmeal Cookies

4 servings

40 minutes

Homemade spiced oatmeal cookies are a cozy treat infused with the warmth of home cooking. Their roots trace back to European baking traditions where oats are used to create a crunchy and nutritious structure. Toasted oats give the cookies a light nutty aroma, while cinnamon and nutmeg create a rich spicy palette that offers a warming flavor. The buttery dough with brown sugar makes the cookies tender, and raisins add sweet fruity notes. Baking them slightly less achieves a soft, chewy texture, while longer baking turns them into a crispy delight. They pair perfectly with a cup of hot tea or coffee, creating an atmosphere of comfort and enjoyment. A wonderful choice for family gatherings or quiet moments with a favorite book.

Ingredients

• Wheat flour: 245 g
• Oat flakes: 300 g
• Baking powder: 0.5 tsp
• Salt: 0.5 tsp
• Cinnamon: 0.5 tsp
• Nutmeg: 0.5 tsp
• Raisin: 95 g
• Butter: 225 g
• Cane sugar: 270 g
• Chicken egg: 2 pc

Cooking steps

1. Preheat the oven to 180 degrees. Line the baking tray with parchment paper or grease it with butter.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 225 g

2. Lightly toast the oats in a dry pan over low heat, stirring frequently. Once a pleasant, slightly nutty aroma fills the kitchen, you can remove the pan from the heat.

   Required ingredients:

   • Oat flakes: 300 g

3. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, salt, ground cinnamon, nutmeg, and toasted flakes with a fork.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 245 g
   • Baking powder: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Salt: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Cinnamon: 0.5 teaspoon
   • Nutmeg: 0.5 teaspoon

4. Beat the butter and sugar with a mixer on medium speed, adding one egg at a time until a smooth creamy mixture is obtained.

   Required ingredients:

   • Butter: 225 g
   • Cane sugar: 270 g
   • Chicken egg: 2 pieces

5. Add the mixture of flour and flakes to the butter, mix thoroughly, and add raisins.

   Required ingredients:

   • Wheat flour: 245 g
   • Oat flakes: 300 g
   • Raisin: 95 g

6. Place the dough on a baking sheet in small mounds with a tablespoon, 4-5 cm apart — the cookies will spread slightly while baking.

7. Bake each batch of cookies for 6-9 minutes until they are slightly golden and almost firm in the middle. This will make the cookies soft and slightly sticky. If you leave them in the oven for another 3-4 minutes, the cookies will be crispy.

8. Remove the baking sheet from the oven and let the cookies sit on it for 2-3 minutes to firm up. Transfer the cookies to a rack to cool completely.
