Recipe for One Oatmeal Raisin Cookie
Description
The Recipe for One Oatmeal Raisin Cookie combines butter and brown sugar into a melted base for the dough, enriched with a fraction of a whisked egg to bind ingredients. Quick oats provide chewiness, while baking soda and cinnamon add leavening and warm spice. Raisins contribute bursts of sweetness, complemented optionally by chopped pecans or walnuts for texture and flavor depth.
Shaping the dough into a disk before baking concentrates the cookie’s edges to crisp lightly while maintaining a tender, soft center. Baking at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for about 13 to 15 minutes produces gentle browning around the edges but keeps the interior moist. Cooling slightly enhances the texture before eating.
This cookie is convenient for a solo treat without the need to bake an entire batch. Its size and portion make it practical for those monitoring intake or simply wanting a quick homemade snack.
To measure the egg properly, whisk one whole egg and reserve the unused portion for other recipes, ensuring accurate quantities for this small batch.
Ingredients
- 2 Tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup (scant) packed light brown sugar
- 1 Tbsp egg whisked
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup quick oats
- 1/8 tsp baking soda
- 1/8 tsp cinnamon
- 1 salt pinch
- 2 Tbsp raisins (or 3 Tbsp chocolate chips)
- 1 1/2 Tbsp pecans optional, chop small, or walnuts, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Place butter in a medium microwave safe mixing bowl. Heat in microwave on HIGH power until almost fully melted.
- Add brown sugar, 1 Tbsp egg, flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt to melted butter. Stir until well blended (it will seem dry at first but it will start to come together). Add raisins and nuts and mix.
- Shape dough into a 3 1/2-inch disk on a Silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven 13 - 15 minutes until edges are golden but center is still soft. Cool slightly and enjoy!
Notes
- Use a whisked whole egg and measure 1 tablespoon for this recipe; store leftover egg in the refrigerator for later use.
- Shaping the dough into a disk before baking promotes even cooking with a soft center and crisp edges.
