Add Oatmeal: to Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Helen McMahon, here for Expert Village. We’ve got our flour added to the mixture for our oatmeal raisin cookies and as that is getting mixed in, it’s going to take a while because we’ve got 2 cups of flour to incorporate into that and we have another dry ingredient on which is oatmeal and I use the Old Fashioned Oats, not the Instant Oats. These are much better for making oatmeal cookies. So I am going to turn this off for just a moment and if you hold this in this way you can usually scoop out a cup very nicely and get a good measure; that is a nice cup full right there. Add this with your machine turned off because otherwise the oatmeal will splatter all over the air and you won’t get as much oatmeal in your cookie as you are hoping to. This is why this is such a nice, nutritious kind of cookie and is great for children as well because you’ve got good oats in there as well as your eggs and butter and flour. We also need another half cup for a total of 2 ½ cups of oatmeal and when that is added, turn the machine on very slowly at first because it is going to take a while to incorporate that into the dough. This is stiffening up quite a lot with all that dry ingredients being added and it is a hard working mixer that will do this job so well. So you are very fortunate if you have a good mixer that will last a long time and work as hard as this does. A Kitchen Aid is a very hard working and reliable product for doing heavy duty mixing like this. We will turn that off for just a moment with our continual process of scraping down the sides of the bowl and the beaters to ensure that you get a good mixture. You want all the ingredients to be uniformly distributed throughout the entire dough and that is guaranteed if you are diligent about stopping every once in a while to scrape down the sides of the bowl.
