Mouthwatering and highly addictive, these Salted Caramel Cashew Oatmeal Cookies are soft and chewy cookies filled with chopped cashews, gooey sea salt and white chocolate chips. 

Salted Caramel Cashew Oatmeal Cookies

20 Kraft caramels, unwrapped

milk

unsalted butter

brown sugar

eggs

all-purpose Flour

salt, divided

cashews

white chocolate chips

Flakey sea salt

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine caramel bites, milk and. Microwave in 45-60 second increments, stirring each time. Caramel will be very hot and can burn easily. Stir in 1 teaspoon salt. Allow the caramel to cool.

Soften the butter in the microwave for 10-15 seconds. Combine the softened butter with the brown and granulated sugar. Beat on medium speed until well combined, 2-3 minutes.

Next add the eggs and vanilla extract and continue beating until well incorporated.

In a separate bowl, combine the remaining dry ingredients. Stir to combine and slowly add the dry ingredients into the dough, mixing on low speed until dough starts to form.

As the dough thickens, add the chopped cashews and chocolate chips. Beat a couple of times until they start to incorporate.

Beat in the cooled caramel just until combined.

Pre-scoop the dough using a large cookie scoop and place on a sheet pan. Sprinkle with flakey sea salt. Refrigerate for at least one hour. Remove each batch 10-15 minutes before baking.

Preheat the oven to 350° F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Bake for 11-13 minutes. The center of the cookie should be slightly under baked but not too gooey. Allow to cool on the baking sheet for 5-10 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool.

With this easy oatmeal cookies recipe, you will have less dishes to clean, there’s no time required for softening butter, chilling the cookie dough is optional, and the batter can be frozen for cookies another day. These just might be the best oatmeal cookies ever! If you have an extra five minutes to spare when making these cookies, try browning your butter before adding it to the cookie batter.

chocolate chips

Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.  Prepare cookie sheets with baking paper

Add the flour, salt, baking soda, and baking powder together into a large mixing bowl.

Mix in the oats and coconut. Set aside.

Melt the butter gently in a large saucepan on low heat without letting it bubble or sizzle.

Remove from the heat, add the sugar, and mix vigorously to combine. It may look greasy and lumpy at first, but keep stirring until fluffy and fully combined.

Mix in the eggs and vanilla.

These Air Fryer Oatmeal Cookies are bursting with bits of apple and warm spices. Top them with a simple glaze to create an extra sweet treat!

Air Fryer Oatmeal Cookies

Oats

apple pie spice

apple sauce (Unsweetened)

apple (Chopped)

confectioners Sugar

heavy whipping cream

Melt the butter in a medium bowl and set it aside.

In a separate large bowl combine the flour, oats, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt. Whisk it together and set aside.

Next, take the butter bowl and add the apple pie spice, vanilla extract, and brown sugar to it. Mix it well. Add in the applesauce and the egg.

Finally combine the two bowls. Add the apple mixture to the dry ingredient bowl.

Mixing everything thoroughly.

Fold in the chopped apple pieces.

Preheat air fryer to 315 degrees.

Line air fryer basket with parchment paper.

Using a small ice cream scoop or a spoon, scoop the cookies out one by one making each cookie ball about two inches wide.

Place each ball of cookie dough on to the parchment paper, leaving about an inch and a half of space between them. It’s important to leave that space because they do spread out.

You will probably have to do multiple batches. I was able to fit in six cookies at a time.

In between batches place the bowl of uncooked cookie dough in the fridge so that it stays chilled.

Air Fry cookies for about 6-8 minutes.

Repeat until all cookies are made.

Remove cookies from basket and place on cookie rack to cool.

Combine confectioners sugar and heavy whipping cream in a bowl, mix well. If you’d like it thinner add more heavy whipping cream, if you’d like it thicker add more sugar. Once cookies are completely cool, drizzle glaze over top of them.

These Moist and Chewy Banana Oatmeal Cookies are hands down the best banana flavored cookie I've ever had. Not only are they moist and chewy for days, they are unmistakably banana-y!

Moist and Chewy Banana Oatmeal Cookies

(195 grams) all-purpose flour (measured accurately)

cloves

tsp salt

cornstarch

(168 grams) unsalted butter, melted

(225 grams) packed brown sugar

(104 grams) sugar

tsp vanilla extract

milliliters) bananas

(240 grams) quick 1-minute oats

Add the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, salt and cornstarch to a medium sized bowl and whisk together. Set aside.

Add the melted butter and sugars to a large bowl and whisk to combine. 

Add the egg and vanilla extract and whisk together until well combined. Add the mashed bananas and whisk together until well combined.

Add the dry ingredients and fold together just until well combined. Add the oats and fold together until well combined. 

Create cookie dough balls that are 1 ½ tablespoons in size. You can refrigerate the cookie dough before baking, if you’d like, but you don’t have to. I think the flavors get even better if you refrigerate the cookie dough for at least 2-3 hours, or overnight. 

When you’re ready to bake the cookies, preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with a silicon baking mat or parchment paper. (No need to bring the cookies to room temperature. You can bake them immediately after pulling them from the fridge.)

Bake the cookies for about 10 minutes or until golden around the edges and lightly golden on top.

Allow the cookies to cool for about 5 minutes, then move to a cooling rack lined with parchment paper to cool completely. The cookies can stick to the parchment paper a little bit. I find that it helps them to release if you give them a little twist on the paper before lifting them up. 

Store cookies in an air-tight container with parchment paper between the stacks of cookies so they don’t stick to each other. Cookies are best if eaten within 4-5 days.

These cookies are awesome!! Soft enough for my husband to eat and great flavor! Made them for his birthday!

These oatmeal cranberry cookies are soft, chewy, and full of cozy flavor. Made with butter, brown sugar, and oats, they’re an easy no-raisin twist on a classic!

Oatmeal Cranberry Cookies (Soft, Chewy &amp; Easy)

(226 grams) salted butter (softened)

(200 grams) light brown sugar (packed)

(50 grams) granulated white sugar

vanilla bean paste

(195 grams) all-purpose flour

(225 grams) old-fashioned rolled oats

½ tsp fine sea salt

(182 grams) dried cranberries (craisins) (or rasins)

Flaky sea salt (for topping)

Cream

Cream butter, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy (2–3 min).

Mix in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla until smooth.

Whisk

In a separate bowl, whisk together flour, cornstarch, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Stir

Stir the dry ingredients into the wet mixture until just combined. Then fold in the oats and dried cranberries until evenly distributed. Be careful not to overmix.

Scoop

Scoop 2½–3 tbsp (or your preferred size) dough balls onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Cover and refrigerate dough for at least 1–2 hours or overnight.

Preheat

Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Place cookie dough balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving space between each to allow for spreading. Bake for 11–13 minutes, or until the edges are set and slightly golden while the centers still look just underdone. The cookies will continue to bake from residual heat once removed from the oven.If your cookies aren’t spreading naturally, gently bang the sheet tray on the counter a couple of times mid-bake or right after baking to encourage them to settle and get that perfect chewy texture.

Sprinkle

After remvoing from the oven, sprinkle with flaky sea salt if using. Cool for 5 mins on tray, then transfer to rack to finish colloing.

These taste amazing, used only chocolate chips but will have to add craisins next time and see if I like it!

These are the absolute best! I made some with nuts and some without as some in my family have allergies. You have my absolute trust when it comes to recipes! These taste just like the cookies at Jason’s Deli!
