If we bake cookies, we usually have to choose a lane: the lightness of an ice box or the speed of a drop biscuit. But why only choose one if the same dough can be prepared either way? I had no idea that this was possible until last week when I turned in 2009 from 2009 The pioneer cooks. I feel a bit nostalgic and not sure what I should open if I had a dessert obligation for an upcoming Potluck party, and thought it could be smart to consult one or two experts from my cookbook collection.
While I looked at all the tempting options in the dessert chapters, I arrived at Ree Drummonds oatmeal criminal pies. Your website confirms that it was originally developed in 2007. Then she invented “the best – and simplest – OAT flour biscuit that there is.” Ree explains that “the dough can be used to make drop cookies immediately or Can be chilled or frozen in beautiful, decent rolls that are ready to cut and bake when a desire (or another meeting) appears.
As soon as the experienced Mediterranean cook mentioned that it often produces a double charge so that you can now enjoy you, drop your cookie style and cut and bake the other for later, I found myself in the kitchen to dig out my apron and immerse yourself.
How to make Ree Drummonds oatmeal crispy
When I collected the ingredients to pursue Rees leadership, I noticed that the ingredients are similar to a mash-up of cowboy cookies and oat cs. Instead of raisins (no, thanks!) These oatmeal are sprinkled with chopped pecannies.
How to come together:
- Build the base. Use a hand mixer in a large mixed bowl to pull down shortening, brown sugar and granulated sugar. Beat eggs in another bowl, then stir in the vanilla extract. Pour them into the sugar mixture and mix well. In a last bowl of all -purpose flour, salt and baking powder. Add the flour mixture to the moist ingredients and stir it until you are combined and fold the fast oat. As soon as the dough is mixed evenly, fold the pecans.
- Bake or save. You can now select your own adventure:
- Shovel them onto bay leaves and bake them for 10 minutes at 350 ° F or until the cookies are golden brown or …
- Roll out two leaves of wax paper and then share the dough in half; Occur on each sheet with half of the dough. Roll every Teiibtrit in a protocol with the wax paper to form a tight housing. Drive the ends. Relax or freeze for later or even rounds to bake immediately.
Tips for the production of oatmeal crispy
After we have researched and whipped REE's oatmeal and then compared notes with our test kitchen professionals, we have a few hints that we can share for other bakers who could try this.
- Do not shy away from shortening. Ree demands 1 cup of reduction like crisco and not for butter in these cookies. You can absolutely replace butter in a one-to-one ratio if you want to give a little butter-like taste. However, the shortening helps ensure that these cookies are crispy on the outside and are tough inside, and the cookies on cuts are usually also fresh. In addition, the aromas of oats, brown sugar and pecanny specifications are so different that the taste of butter can be covered anyway. Choose either butter or shortening or a mixture of both cups.
- Remember that old-fashioned oats are a-ok. Fast oats, also known as Oats Hafer, are also part of the line -up. They are softer than less processed old -fashioned (rolled) oats, which represents a profit in these quick -boiling cookies. Nevertheless, other home bakers have reported success with an old -fashioned oats. Just note that the texture is a little tougher.
- Harden chocolates and desire. Oatmeal chocolate biscuits and pole cookies are among the most requested recipes of BHG Fans (and employees!). If that sounds in your alley, you should add 1 cup of chocolate chips or M&MS together with – or instead of – the pecans.
- Drive crazy. If nutty taste is your favorite, these oat grims can process more than the ½ cup in the original formula. Feel free, stir in finely chopped pecans or walnuts up to 1 ½ cups.

The judgment on Ree Drummonds oat grim
After trying a biscuit out of the oven, I agree with a Pioneer woman who says she will definitely do it again! Based on the name “Crispies”, I was a little worried that they would be crispy throughout, and I prefer a biscuit to chew a little. But due to the shortening, they are softer than I expected – and the rest of the batch “aged”, if you like, in the next few days when they are kept at the counter. Your texture seems to be ideal for ice creams sandwiches, so I can hardly wait to experiment with them after I baked my next batch.
The only fresh ingredient that is required for Ree's oatmeal crispy is eggs. Otherwise, the rest of this dessert comes together with the kind permission of Pantry booklet. That meansOh no, I forgot dessert!List. Depending on the group size, I can bake all 24 or perform 12 drop -cookie style for the time being and later save the other 12 in a cookie -dough protocol for ice box cookies. Now that I mention it, I think that I now have my freezer with a few batches with a few batches in store, so that a delicious dessert is never more than 10 minutes or so away.
