After all the baking and candy making, my mind is thinking about a plainer type cookie with some substance and this one comes to mind. I think that after all the busy holiday plans are over and done with, I will put a batch of these on the counter to go with glasses of cold milk.
Oatmeal Fruit & Nut Drops1 cup all-purpose flour
2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon cloves
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground ginger
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
1 stick butter, room temperature
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup packed golden brown sugar
1 large egg
2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup old-fashioned oats
½ cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup diced dates
1 tablespoon finely grated orange zest
1/4 cup finely chopped pecans
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Line baking sheets with parchment paper or use vegetable oil spray to grease.
Stir flour, cinnamon, baking soda, baking powder, salt, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves in small bowl to blend. Set aside. Using electric mixer, beat butter, granulated sugar and brown sugar in large bowl until blended. Mix in egg and vanilla. Mix in flour mixture. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Drop tablespoonful of dough for each cookie onto prepared baking sheet, spacing 2 inches apart. Bake until lightly golden, about 12 to 15 minutes. Cool cookies on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to cooling racks. Drizzle with lemon glaze.
Lemon Glaze1 cup powdered sugar
½ teaspoon vanilla extract
½ teaspoon lemon extract
1 teaspoon finely grated lemon zest
Enough fresh lemon juice to form a glaze
