Oat Cake Cookies Recipes

OATMEAL CAKE MIX COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F or 350°F if you are using dark or nonstick pans.
• In a bowl, mix the cake mix, brown sugar, butter, shortening, water, cinnamon and egg together on medium for about 1 minute.
• If adding any add ins, use a spoon to fold them in now.
• Scoop the dough and place it on the ungreased cookie sheets and flatten them down slightly .
• Bake the cookies for 9 to 12 minutes. The centers will be soft and then let cool for 5 minutes.

NOVA SCOTIA OATCAKES

Steps:

• Preheat an oven to 375 F. In a large bowl, combine the oats, flour, sugar, salt, and baking soda. Add the shortening or butter and use 2 knives, a large fork, or your fingers to work the fat into the dry ingredients.
• Pour in the hot water and stir until everything comes together into a thick, sticky dough.
• You can roll the dough out on a well-floured surface, cut it into shapes, and set them on a large baking sheet. Or keep things simple and simply press the dough into an even 1/4-inch layer on a baking sheet. Score this large "cake" into smaller pieces: Use a knife to cut the dough into squares or rectangles or whatever shapes you like, but don't bother to separate the pieces; the pieces will bake back together but be easy to cut or break along that original cut line.
• Bake until golden, about 12 minutes. You can take them out now for chewier oatcakes or reduce the oven temperature to 325 F and bake until lightly browned, about 10 more minutes, for crisper oatcakes.
• When they have finished baking, if you've cut them into shapes, let them cool; if you've scored them, cut them apart while warm so they cool into squares (or rectangles or triangles or whatever you've cut them into).
• Serve and enjoy.
