Oatmeal walnut cookies ingredients

The ingredients you need for these cookies are pretty basic: butter, eggs, oatmeal, flour. That’s pretty much it. You have to let the dough chill in the fridge for 2 hours so they keep their shape and taste better.

How to make oatmeal walnut cookies

Start with creaming butter and sugar in a large bowl. Add in the egg and mix well until fully combined. Add in flour, oatmeal, cinnamon and baking powder. Stir using a spatula or a wooden spoon. Then add chopped walnuts and stir well. Refrigerate the cookie dough for about two hours.

Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and scoop out the oatmeal cookie dough onto the baking sheet using a cookie or ice cream scoop. Place them two inches apart from each other to give them room to spread. Bake in the oven and cool completely on a baking sheet before serving.

How long should I bake oatmeal cookies for

I usually bake oatmeal cookie for about 12-15 minutes until the edges are golden brown. The cookies are usually pretty soft once they’re out of the oven and you can transfer them to the wire rack after 5-10 minutes.

Walnut oatmeal cookie variations

Oatmeal raisin walnut cookies: add 1/2 cup raisins to the batter with the walnuts.
Oatmeal cranberry walnut cookies: add 1/2 cup dried cranberries to the cookie dough with the walnuts.
Oatmeal chocolate chip walnut cookies: use 1/2 cup chocolate chips in the cookie dough while adding the walnuts.

These oatmeal walnut cookies are crunchy with a hint of cinnamon that makes them perfect for anytime of the year!
