Kayak Salty Oat Cookie Recipes

SALTY OATMEAL CHOCOLATE CHUNK COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line 3 sheet pans with parchment paper.
• In an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment, beat the butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar on medium-high speed for 3 minutes, until light and fluffy. Scrape down the bowl with a rubber spatula. On low speed, add the vanilla, then the eggs, one at a time. Scrape down the bowl again.
• Meanwhile, sift the flour, baking soda, and salt into a medium bowl. Mix in the oats. With the mixer on low, slowly add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture. Don't overbeat it! With a rubber spatula, stir in the chocolate and cranberries until the dough is well mixed. With a 1 3/4-inch ice cream scoop (or two spoons), scoop round balls of dough onto the prepared sheet pans. Sprinkle lightly with fleur de sel. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, until nicely browned. Serve warm or at room temperature.

SALTY OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 (rack on the 2nd position from top).
• Slice "cold" unsalted butter into small pieces and whip in your mixer for a minute or so. Because it's cold it will stick a bit, but don't fret -- scrape and mix.
• Add both sugars, baking powder, baking soda and the cinnamon. With mixer combine at medium speed until the mixture has a crumbly texture.
• Add the eggs and vanilla and mix again until combined.
• With mixer on low speed, slowly add flour. If your mixer sounds like it's over-working, you may have to continue by hand and use a spoon.
• DON'T OVER MIX or cookies will get tough!
• Gently fold in the oats, and optional add-ins of chocolate chips or raisins.
• Chill the dough for at least an hour.
• Drop dough by the heaping tablespoon onto cookie sheet.
• "Lightly" sprinkle cookies with Kosher salt.
• Bake on 2nd rack from top at 375 for 12-15 minutes. (Cookies should still be soft to the touch).
• Carefully transfer them to a cooling rack and enjoy!
