Grandma Dot’s Oatmeal Freezer Cookies are sure to go down a treat. Try freezing this dough in smallish logs, just enough to make about 8 cookies. By freezing smaller portions, the dough thaws more quickly. And because you only bake a few cookies at a time, they are always fresh.
Recipe adapted from cooks.com
Makes about 2 dozen cookies
Ingredients
100 g butter- 100 g sugar
- 85 g brown sugar
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 90 g flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 120 g rolled oats
- 25 g finely chopped pecans or walnuts
Method
Preheat the oven to 180°C. Using an electric mixer, cream the butter and sugars together in a bowl. Beat in the egg and vanilla.
In a separate bowl, stir together the flour, salt, baking soda, oats and nuts. Add the flour mixture to the creamed mixture until just blended.
Shape the dough into 2-inch rolls on greaseproof paper. Roll up and twist the ends together. Chill until firm (at least 2 hours) or freeze for later use (place the logs in a plastic bag before freezing).
When ready to bake the cookies, thaw the dough (only if frozen), then cut into 3/4-inch slices. Place on an ungreased cookie sheet with at least 1 inch separating the cookies. Bake at 180°C for approximately 10 minutes. Immediately remove the cookies from the cookie sheet and cool on a wire rack.
