What makes a thin crispy oatmeal cookies the best?
Adding whole grain and spices are the key ingredients that make these oatmeal cookies especial every time you make them which does not only count for the holiday season.
☞These cookies have a generous amount of rolled oats. Like nuts or grains, oatmeal also gets rancid. Always trust your sense of smell, if you smell a little bit off, do not use it. Rancid Oatmeal can not be masked even if you add a lot of spices and flavorings. The best way is to store oats in a sealed glass container.
☞CINNAMON comes in different forms, either in powder or in sticks. It is a familiar kitchen spice around the world because of the fragrance and warmth it provides to everything from breakfast cereals to curries, cookies and pastries that is so often enjoyed by many.
Ground cinnamon is best used once it is open in a year while cinnamon sticks will last for at least 3-4 years for as long as they are stored sealed in a dry, dark and cool place.
☞NUTMEG is a sweet and aromatic spice that is taken for granted and being used occasionally in baking during the holiday season. Although, when you hold nutmeg in your hand, you are truly holding a special treasure. Hildegard Von Bingen, Author of PHYSICA once said, "If a person eats nutmeg, it will open up his heart, makes his judgment free from obstruction, and give him a good disposition."
Ground and whole nutmeg should be stored properly in an air-tight container away from heat, light and moisture. Ground nutmeg retains its freshness for approximately 6 months while the whole nutmeg will stay fresh indefinitely as long as they are stored properly.
