    Oatmeal Crisp Cookies

    it’s the beginning of the end. which sounds moderately emo and morbid, but it’s true. this is the last time i’ll ever come drive down from norcal to socal in an obscenely late september flourish, the last time i’ll go through the week 0 motions of boothing and watching dance battles and going to free concerts in the campus park. okay, maybe not the last one, since i’m actually going to a concert i won tickets for in a random contest instead of partaking in this year’s act.

    but in that spirit, i thought it appropriate to post something sweet for the last week 0 of undergrad. and it’s made even more weird because the last time i made these oatmeal crisp cookies was at the end of high school, 3+ years ago. i meant to post them on the blog, and for whatever reason, they didn’t make it. something about these cookies makes them appropriate for the end of eras, i guess.

    the name sounds a little senior citizen (perhaps the oatmeal part), but since i am a lover of oats in baked goods, i basically have my aarp membership already. anyways, there's chocolate involved! hopefully that's enough to sway you if you're anti-oat. and if you're an active raisin and/or walnut hater, you can definitely leave them out and sub in more chocolate/oats/cereal, even if i'm a little sad over here. i promise that these taste so much more like oatmeal crisp cookies with the extra crisp/crunch of the walnuts, and that the chewy raisins do wonders.

    4 years ago: Choco-Latte Chip Cookies, Aunty Pin's Banana Nut Bread

    Let these oatmeal crisp cookies cool all the way (yes, I know, but I believe in you!) for maximum crispness.

    These oatmeal crisp cookies might feel like they include everything but the kitchen sink, but all of the mix-ins work together to make a cookie that's tasty and interesting down to the last crumb.
    Course: Dessert
    Cuisine: American
    Servings: 56 cookies
    Calories: 103 kcal
    Ingredients
    • 2 sticks unsalted butter room temperature
    • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
    • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
    • 2 large eggs room temperature
    • 2 cups all-purpose flour
    • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
    • 1 teaspoon baking powder
    • 1 teaspoon baking soda
    • 1/2 cup chopped nuts toasted (my family prefers walnuts)
    • 2 1/2 cups crisp rice cereal
    • 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
    • 1 cup chocolate chips I like bittersweet
    • 1/2 cup raisins
    Instructions
    1. Cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Mix in the vanilla and eggs until well combined. Add the flour, salt, baking powder and baking soda, then mix just until combined. Mix in everything else (dough will be very thick).
    2. Drop onto cookie sheets (I like placing 12 balls of dough using a 60 scoop, aka 1 1/2 tablespoons, onto each sheet).

    3. Bake at 375F for 15 to 20 minutes until golden and set. They will become more crunchy as they cool.
    Recipe Notes

    I typically use a #60 scoop (about 1 1/2 T), which yields 56 cookies.

    These oatmeal crisp cookies are filled with crisp rice cereal, chocolate chips, oats, walnuts and raisins, making for chewy cookies with a bit of crunch.

      I love oatmeal in baked goods! Savor and enjoy your last undergrad moments. When I was in college I kept anticipating what was coming up next instead of living in the now and appreciating what I had at the time. Once you get to your 30s, everything happens so fast!
