May 17 is World Baking Day. One of the simplest things to bake is a cookie. One of my favorites is Spicy Oatmeal Crisps from myrecipes.com. I have found when I make these that the dough should be refrigerated for about an hour to keep them from spreading too thin.
Spicy Oatmeal Crisps
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- In a medium bowl, combine:
- 3/4 c. flour
- 1 t. cinnamon
- 1/2 t. baking soda
- 1/2 t. allspice
- 1/2 t. nutmeg
- 1/4 t. salt
- 1/4 t. cloves
- 1/4 t. black pepper
- In a large bowl, mix together:
- 1 c. packed brown sugar
- 5 T. butter, softened
- 1 t. vanilla
- Add large egg to butter-sugar mixture.
- Add flour mixture plus 1/2 c. oats.
- Drop by level tablespoons 2 inches apart onto lined cookie sheets. Bake for 12 minutes or until crisp. Cool on plan 2 to 3 minutes or until firm. Then cool completely on wire racks.
Enjoy!
