May I present the first CNY cookies that I baked for 2009: Oatmeal Crispies!!!
I get to know this recipe at Pioneer Woman’s blog. And I thought why not make this as CNY cookies. The end results are real good! They’re very crispy and yummy. Mine’s darker in color. Will tell you why later.
Ingredients:
1 cup shortening
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla essence
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
3 cups quick oats
1/2 cup finely chopped pecan
Btw, I bought a new gadget. A stainless steel measuring cups set. Wohoo!! My current one is plastic & I dislike them. They’re a pain to wash too when smolder with butter or margarine. I thought I wanna get one from ebay not until I saw a very reasonable priced steel cups at Bagus. RM13 nia.
Directions:
Cream shortening with brown sugar & sugar until well combined.
Beat eggs in a separate bowl. And add vanilla essence. Stir until combine. Add to the shortening+sugar mixture.
Stir until combine.
In another bowl, mix flour, salt & baking soda. Add them to the shortening+sugar+egg mixture & mix until combine.
Add quick oats (I use quaker oats) & mix again. Next add the finely chopped pecans & mix… again.
Divide the dough in half. Then placed them on waxed paper. Roll them into cylinder (like a log) & wrap tightly with waxed paper. You can either freeze them, chill them or just do ahead & slice the dough now… as evenly as you can. I know my half is not half at all. :laughing:
Make a few batch and freeze them for weeks. Bake them during ‘emergency’. As in when you’re craving for crispy cookies!
Bake them at 180 degree C for 10 minutes. I baked mine for 15 minutes because when I bake them at 10, the middle part is a bit chewy. I think it’s not done yet. That’s why my cookies color is brown & not golden. Yield 80 ‘precious’ pieces!!!
See? this is the first time I wash my measuring cups after use. Hehehe.
All in all this recipe is a breeze. You can go to Pioneer Woman’s blog for a better look of the methods. Cheers! Gong Xi! Gong Xi!

Very yummy looking, but I think I have to cut down on baking all these sweets, if not cannot have to keep buying new pants for the both of us!!!

Dawn, haha surprisingly this cookies is not very sweet but still they’re cookies. :tongue:
Annant, hmm they don’t look really nice but they really taste nice. :tongue:
wow! can i have some? i am not a baking person, so much hassle to blend, then wash the stuff. lol.
I’d like to order 100pcs please. :drool:
love recipes using cups! so much easier!
Wow!! Looks delicious!! If I put less sugar in it, I think it’s a treat that both humans and doggies can share, right? Not that I like to give my dogs sugary food.
Oh well, I love oats and so, don’t think the dogs will ever get to share the cookies with me. HOHOHO!!!
Xin, you want? I can send some to you. The washing part eh… normally I ask my maid to wash hehehe
Jemima, hehe really?
FeR, I like recipes using grams. I hate to wash the cups. But plate okay (use to measure grams).
Angie Tan, even though this is oatmeal cookie… you won’t feel the oatmeal…just crunchiness. Yes less sugar for dogs. But I just give Chester.
Che-cheh the domestic goddess!
Wuching, AHEM! AHEM! :battlingeyelashes:
Looks nice! You really good in this!
Jam, nah. I’m just good at following orders (recipes) Hehe
