Galletas De Avena (Oatmeal Cookies)
Description
These oatmeal cookies combine creamed butter and brown sugar with eggs and vanilla, folded with a mixture of flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Rolled oats, raisins, and walnuts add bulk and chewiness to the cookies. After mixing, the dough is chilled to firm up, which controls spreading during baking and enhances flavor melding.
Baked at a moderate temperature, the cookies develop golden edges and remain slightly soft in the center, giving a tender chew without being overly crisp. The cinnamon and vanilla provide warm aromatic notes that complement the texture from oats and the sweetness of raisins. The nuts contribute crunch and a richer mouthfeel.
The cookies can be stored in an airtight container with a piece of bread to help retain moisture up to five days, and the dough freezes well when shaped into balls. These storage tips help maintain freshness over time.
Ingredients
- ½ cup butter 4 ounces, softened
- ⅔ cup light brown sugar
- 1 egg large
- ½ tsp vanilla extract
- ¾ cup all-purpose flour
- ½ tsp baking soda
- ½ tsp ground cinnamon
- ¼ tsp kosher salt
- 1 ½ cups rolled oats
- ¾ cup raisins
- ¼ cup walnuts chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 f degrees (177 c)
- In a large bowl, cream together the butter, brown sugar, egg and vanilla until smooth using an electric mixer.
- In a separate small bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together.
- Add the dry mixture into the butter/sugar mixture and with the electric mixer cream little bit more until mixed well.
- Using a spatula, fold in the oats, raisins and walnuts and mix well.
- Chill the dough covered in the fridge for about two hours prior to baking.
- Scoop 2 tbsp of dough on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Space the dough about 2 inches apart.
- Bake for about 10-12 minutes (start checking at the 10 minute mark since all ovens are different). The cookies are done when the edges are golden but the center looks a little undercooked.
- Remove from oven and keep on baking sheet for about 5 minutes prior to transferring them to a cooling rack.
Notes
- Store cookies airtight with a slice of bread to keep them moist up to five days.
- Cookie dough freezes well for up to three months when rolled into balls before freezing.
