Cook Time: 10 mins
Total Time: 30 mins
Cuisine: Amish
Serves: 36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter, softened
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs
- 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
- 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup chopped nuts
- 1 cup oatmeal
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent the cookies from sticking.
- In a large mixing bowl, use an electric mixer to cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until the mixture is light and fluffy. This should take about 2-3 minutes.
- Add the two large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Then, stir in the vanilla extract until fully combined.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Fold in the chocolate chips, chopped nuts, and oatmeal using a spatula or wooden spoon. Ensure that all ingredients are evenly distributed throughout the dough.
- Using a cookie scoop or tablespoon, drop rounded balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheets, leaving about 2 inches of space between each cookie to allow for spreading.
- Place the baking sheets in the preheated oven and bake for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden and the centers are set. The cookies may look slightly underbaked in the center, but they will continue to cook on the baking sheet as they cool.
- Once baked, remove the cookies from the oven and let them sit on the baking sheets for 5 minutes to firm up before transferring them to wire racks to cool completely.
- Enjoy your delicious Amish Triple Treat Cookies with a glass of milk or your favorite beverage!
Tips
- Room Temperature Ingredients: Make sure your butter is softened and your eggs are at room temperature for a smooth and creamy dough. This will help create a lighter texture in your cookies.
- Don’t Overmix: When combining the dry ingredients with the wet, mix just until you see no more flour. Overmixing can lead to tough cookies, so be gentle!
- Chill the Dough: If you have time, chill the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking. This helps the cookies maintain their shape and enhances the flavors.
- Watch the Baking Time: Every oven is different, so keep an eye on your cookies as they bake. They should be lightly golden around the edges but still soft in the center for that perfect chewy texture.
- Add Your Twist: Feel free to customize these cookies! Substitute the nuts with your favorite dried fruits or use white chocolate chips for a different flavor profile.
- Storage Tips: Store your cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week, or freeze them for longer-lasting freshness. Just make sure to separate layers with parchment paper to prevent sticking!Enjoy baking and savoring these delicious Amish Triple Treat Cookies!
