Danish Oatmeal Cookies

By JanetLynn198

Total time: 1 hour

Ingredients

• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup confectioners’ sugar
• 2 tsp vanilla
• 1 cup oatmeal (process if you want a “smoother” cookie texture)
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1 tbsp confectioners’ sugar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Preheat an oven to 325F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a bowl, mix the flour, baking soda and salt. In a separate large bowl, mix the butter, 1 cup confectioners’ sugar and vanilla until the mixture is smooth and creamy. Stir in the flour mixture; gently stir in the oatmeal and pecans and lightly mix until combined.

3. With a spoon, drop about 1 scant tablespoon of dough per cookie onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven until lightly browned, about 20 mins. Let cool completely before sprinkling cookies with confectioners sugar.
