i tried my cookie gun… good idea for gift cookies

white chocolate cherry oat cookies

i subbed the raisin and milk chocolate out with white chocolate and cherry from recipe i got in KATE ZUCKERMAN’s cookbook.
1 1/4 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
16 tablespoons butter (2 sticks, unsalted, room temperature)
1 cup sugar
1 cup dark brown sugar
2 eggs plus 1 egg white, room temperature
3 cups old fashioned oats
8 ounces milk chocolate chips or chunks (or dark chocolate, if you want)
1 cup golden raisins (can also use any dried fruit you like and want to try)

Heat oven to 350 F. Grease two cookie sheets with cooking spray or butter. Use parchment paper if you like. In a bowl, whisk flour, salt, and baking soda. Set aside.

Cream butter with a mixer on medium for one minute. Then, add the sugar and beat on medium high until light and fluffy, about 5 minutes. Add dark brown sugar and continue to beat for another 3 to 4 minutes. Scrape down the sides as necessary. Add eggs and egg white one at a time on low speed and beat until fully incorporated. The batter should be smooth and a bit shiny, another 1-2 minutes.

Add the flour mixture all at once to the butter mixture. Fold in with a spatula a few times. Turn the mixer on and mix for about 1 minute until thoroughly combined. Then, add the chocolate chips and raisins. You can turn the mixer on low until incorporated or use a wooden spoon to mix. Then, add the oats. Again, you can mix on low till incorporated or use a wooden spoon.

You can use two teaspoons to create small mounds of dough. Place on cookie sheets about two inches apart. These will spread. You can also just use your hands and roll small balls of dough, about 1 to 1 1/2 inches in diameter depending on how big you want them. Press them down a bit when they are on the cookie sheet. Bake 12-15 minutes. Make sure you rotate your pans for even browning.

These cookies will spread and there will be a lot of caramelization. If you want chewier cookies, take them out around 12 minutes depending on your oven. If you want crispier cookies, go a bit longer and watch them.
