Oatmeal Raisin Cookies


I am not a super fan for ceareal stuff but last month I went for a KK trip and all of a sudden I feel like stepping into this cookies shop. And the oddest thing tat ever happen is that I get a bit bored of eating chocolate cookies, chocolate chip cookies and some with nuts ingredient... and this oatmeal raising cinamon are tempting me to try it. As alot of people says... u never try u will never know.. after one bite of this cookies.. i m so addicted to it... and when I was back home.. I keep searching for the cookies recipe book. So this is the recipe but the taste and the texture still a lot different from the cookies shop.. but still the taste is acceptable..

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Ingredients :

200g Plain Flour
1 tsp Bicarbonate Soda
1 tsp Ground Cinnamon or Cinnamon Sugar
180g Butter
200g Castor Sugar (if prefer less sweet, cut some of the sugar)
1 or 2 tsp Vanilla Essence
2 small Eggs
4 tbsp Milk
¼ tsp Salt
100g Quick-cooking rolled oats / Instant Oats (for me I used this)
150g Raisins
60g Chopped Walnuts

Methods :
Line baking trays with non-stick baking paper.
Sift together flour, bicarbonate soda and cinnamon.
Using an electric mixer at low speed, cream butter, sugar and vanilla essence for 1 minute. Scrape down the sides, then increase the speed to high and whisk for 3 minutes.
Decrease speed to moderate and beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in milk until blended. Gradually beat in sifted dry ingredients and salt. Stir in oats, raisins and walnuts.
Using two teaspoons, shape batter into balls and place them on the baking trays, at least 6 cm apart.
Bake in a pre-heated oven with 190deg. Cel. For 12-15 minutes, or until lightly browned. Leave cookies on trays for 1 minute before transferring them to the wire racks to cool.

Note : For cookies with a firmer texture, turn the cookies over after the baking time shown on No.6 and bake for another 2 minutes.
