Clare Cosis Oatmeal Cookie Muffins Recipes

Steps:

• Combine buttermilk and oats, cover and refrigerate overnight or at least 6 hours.
• Crack egg into a bowl and beat lightly with a fork. Add buttermilk/oat mixture, brown sugar, oil, cinnamon, vanilla, salt and raisins. Stir well to combine. Add flour, baking powder and baking soda and stir to create a lumpy dough.
• Preheat oven to 375. Line muffin cups with paper liners and lightly coat the papers and top of pan with cooking spray.
• Drop dough into cups, filling to the top. Bake 15 to 20 minutes, until top of muffin is firm to the touch and a toothpick comes out clean. Remove from pan and cool on a rack.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Toss raisins and 1 teaspoon flour together in a saucepan until raisins are coated in flour. Stir 1/4 cup sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, and lemon juice into raisins. Pour 1 cup boiling water over raisin mixture; bring mixture to a boil. Cook, stirring constantly, until raisins start to break down and mixture thickens, 5 to 10 minutes. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Stir 2 3/4 cups flour, 3/4 cup sugar, and salt together in a bowl.
• Whisk melted shortening and molasses together in another bowl; stir in remaining vanilla extract. Dissolve baking soda in 1/3 cup boiling water. Stir soda water into molasses mixture until mixture foams and is well-combined. Stir flour mixture and molasses mixture together in a large bowl until a stiff dough forms.
• Divide dough into 2 balls; 1 dough ball for the bottom cookie rounds and 1 ball for the top cookie rounds. Cover 1 dough ball with a damp paper towel; roll remaining dough ball out to 1/8-inch thickness. Cut dough into rounds using the top of a glass or a round cookie cutter. Place these bottom rounds 2-inches apart on a baking sheet. Top each dough round with 1 tablespoon of raisin filling mixture.
• Roll out remaining dough ball to 1/8-inch thickness and cut into rounds using the same cutter. Moisten fingers slightly with water and carefully work each top round from the center outwards until each is about 1/4-inch larger around than the bottom round. Working from one edge, place top round over bottom round and filling, pressing firmly to seal the cookie. Lightly press down tops of cookies to settle filling in the pocket.
• Bake in the preheated oven until cookie is set, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool briefly on the baking sheet before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Spray medium-size muffin tins with non-stick cooking spray.
• Cream together the butter and the brown sugar. Add the egg and beat well.
• In a separate bowl, mix the dry ingredients together. Add to butter mixture. Mix in the applesauce, then the oats. Finally add the raisins and the pecans.
• Scoop batter into muffin tin, and bake for 25 minutes. Best served warm.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• In a large bowl combine sugar, brown sugar, and butter. Mix well with a hand mixer.
• Add in the eggs and vanilla and mix together.
• In another bowl, combine oats, flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add to butter mixture 1 cup at a time. Slowly add in the dried cranberries until well combined.
• Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place 3-inches apart onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 12-14 minutes, just until the edges are lightly golden.
• Remove from the oven and let cool for 2-3 minutes on the cookie sheet.
