I got this recipe from a friend of mine. We think these cookies are delicious! A nice hint of orange to an oatmeal cookie! I usually double this recipe, and (if I'm feeling nutty! I'll add some chopped pecans! (Prep time does not include soaking the raisins overnight in the liqueur.) Ingredients:
3/4 cup raisins |
3 tablespoons triple sec (orange liqueur) |
1/2 cup butter, room temperature |
3/4 cup sugar |
1 large egg |
2 teaspoons freshly grated orange zest |
1 cup flour |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 1/2 cups rolled oats |
8 ounces white chocolate chips |
1 teaspoon crisco shortening |
Directions:
1. Combine raisins and liqueur; let stand overnight or for several hours.
2. Beat butter and sugar until fluffy.
3. Beat in egg and orange peel.
4. Combine flour and baking soda; stir into butter mixture.
5. Add raisins (with liquid) and oats.
6. Mix well.
7. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased baking sheets; spacing about 2-inches apart-flatten slightly.
8. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes.
9. Cool completely.
10. Melt white chocolate according to directions on package.
11. Use Crisco to thin until consistency is appropriate to drizzle on top of each cookie.
