Irish Oatmeal Cookies
These Irish Oatmeal Cookies are chewy and made with steel cut oats for a nutty flavor.
Equipment
- Stand Mixer
- cookie sheet
- parchment paper
Ingredients
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- ¾ teaspoon baking powder
- ¼ teaspoon baking soda
- 7 tablespoons unsalted butter softened at room temperature for 10 minutes
- ⅓ cup white sugar
- ⅓ cup dark or light brown sugar packed
- 1 large egg
- 3 tablespoons Lyle's golden syrup corn syrup or honey can be substituted but the flavor will be different
- 1 ¾ cups Irish steel-cut oats
- ½ cup toffee bits
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350°. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper.
- In a medium bowl, whisk to combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda.
- In the bowl of a stand mixer, beat butter and sugars until fluffy (about 3 minutes).
- Beat in egg and golden syrup.
- Gradually add flour mixture until incorporated.
- Stir in oats and toffee bits.
- Allow the cookie dough to rest for 10 minutes so that the oats will absorb some moisture.
- Use a cookie scoop to place dough balls at least 2' apart on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake cookies for 12-15 minutes or until golden brown all over.
- Cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Notes
The type of oat used is important. Using steel cut oats yields a chewy, nut-like texture. Substituting old-fashioned oats results in less chew.
