Why I love this cookies?

Many people agree including but not limited to self-conscious individuals, and or anyone who wants to have some treats and just be happy is what this thin and crispy oatmeal cookie is all about. I love a large amount of rolled oats as the main ingredients because of their famously known nutritional value and the spices that are very popular to many chefs and home cooks that are responsible for aroma that provides warmth and welcoming effect.

What about butter and sugar? I have to be straightforward, It is necessary to make the best crispy oatmeal cookies. Butter gives richness and structure apart from being delicious while sugar, without it, will become bland and flat.

How to make clusters of healthy granolas recipe on this website was my inspiration to make these crackly and melt in your mouth oatmeal cookies. Also, if you love chewy and soft cookies, You should try to make these soft and chewy oatmeal raisin cookies that are jammed with a lot of yummy goodness.

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.

Pile of rolled oats

☞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

☞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.

A mound of whole nutmeg on a white dish

☞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.
