This is one of the few oatmeal cookies that are also a cut-out cookie. Although you can use any shape cookie cutter you like, I tend to go with the circle so I can sandwish them together with some thick jam or a buttercream icing. You could also dip half the circle in melted chocolate and then in ground nuts. Lots of room for creativity here!
Granny’s Oatmeal Crisps
1 1/3 cup butter
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup warm water
1 cup all-purpose flour, divided
1 cup rolled oats
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
Cream butter and sugar together and beat in warm water. Mix together the remaining dry ingredients and add them along with the vanilla extract to the butter mixture. Add the cup of flour, blending in carefully.
Roll out portions of the dough and cut out circles with cookie cutter. Place on lightly greased baking sheets. Bake for approximately 10 minutes or until golden brown around the edges. Cook on wire rack. Makes approximately 3 dozen cookies.
