Irish Oatmeal Cookies

Irish Oatmeal Cookies
Hearty and Healthy Irish Oatmeal Cookies are the answer to those times you want to indulge yourself while still feeling good. Made with wholesome cut oats, each cookie has a satisfyingly crunchy texture that’s perfectly offset by the chewy oat mixture.

Ingredients

  • ½ cup Irish oats alternatively, you may use steel-cut oats
  • ½ cup water
  • 1 stick Irish butter or regular butter, softened
  • 6 tbsp brown sugar
  • Egg yolk of one large egg
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 ½ tsp baking powder
  • ¼ tsp salt

Instructions

  • Begin by boiling oats and water in a saucepan. Once boiling, set heat to low and allow to cook for about 15 minutes. If it is getting too dry, add water one tablespoon at a time. You do not want it too liquid, this is just to cook the oats/soften them.
  • In a large bowl, cream together butter and brown sugar.
  • Once creamed, add egg yolk and mix some more. Add cooked oats and combine.
  • In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder and salt. Slowly add to wet ingredients and combine until a dough forms.
  • Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and place in freezer for about 15 minutes.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Once the dough is done chilling, remove from freezer and roll into spheres, about 1 ¼ inch in diameter. Place on lined baking sheet, leaving about 1 ½ inches between each one.
  • Bake for 12 to 15 minutes and allow to cool completely on a wire rack before serving.
