Trisha Yearwood Oatmeal Cookie Recipes

OATMEAL BISCUITS WITH APPLE BUTTER YOGURT

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment.
• Combine the flour, oats, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a large bowl. With your hands, cut in the butter until the butter resembles small pebbles. Make a well in the center of the mixture and pour in the milk. Mix until a dough starts to form, then knead gently, 4 to 5 times, until smooth.
• Pat the dough out to 1-inch thick. Cut out biscuits, using a 2-inch biscuit cutter, and transfer to a baking sheet.
• Brush the biscuits with the melted butter. Transfer to the oven and bake until golden brown, 18 to 20 minutes. Remove from the oven and allow the biscuits to cool for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, mix together the yogurt and apple butter in a bowl.
• Top the biscuits with apple butter yogurt and chopped apples. Serve immediately.

WHITE CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheet with parchment paper.
• With an electric mixer, cream the butter and both sugars together until smooth. Add the vanilla and egg, mixing well. Sift together the flour and baking soda. Spoon the flour mixture gradually into the creamed sugar mixture. Stir in the cranberries, white chocolate chips and macadamia nuts. Drop by heaping spoonfuls, about 2 tablespoons, onto the prepared baking sheets, 2 inches apart. Bake one sheet at a time until lightly golden on top and the edges are set, 12 to 15 minutes. Cool on the sheet about 5 minutes, and then transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

FRUITCAKE COOKIES

Fold the fruit and nuts into the batter by hand, mixing well. Drop the batter by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden and done.
