Maple Oat Chewies Cookies Recipes

Steps:

• Cream butter (a combination of half butter and half margarine works best) and sugars; add molasses, maple extract, and eggs; beat well.
• Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; add to dough; stir in oatmeal and crisp rice cereal.
• Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough onto greased baking sheets.
• Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes until light golden-brown.
• Cool 2 minutes on baking sheets; remove cookies and cool completely on rack.
• Store cooled cookies in sealed container to preserve their chewy texture.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. In a medium bowl, stir together oats, flour, salt, and baking soda. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter and sugars on high until pale and fluffy, 3 minutes. Beat in maple syrup, egg, vanilla, and 1/4 cup water, scraping down bowl as needed. With mixer on low, beat in oat mixture in 2 additions until just combined.
• Drop dough in rounded teaspoons, 2 inches apart, onto parchment-lined baking sheets. Bake until edges are golden, about 11 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Let cookies cool on sheets until set, about 2 minutes, then transfer to wire racks and let cool completely. (Store cookies in an airtight container, up to 1 week.)
