I think if I bit into Gregor he would taste like an oatmeal cookie. I can’t explain it but in my heart I know it’s true.🍪

Calm Down and Cook Oatmeal Cookies

If I asked you to make me some oatmeal cookies right now would you look under the lid of your Quaker Oatmeal container for the recipe? That’s where I’d get mine. I think it’s always been there (in reality it’s been there since the 1950s). It’s a classic and reliable source. My recipe is an adaptation of that one.

There are 2 kinds of sugar in this cookie dough. Let’s play with that a little. Here’s an opportunity to stretch your wings and do your own thing. If you choose all white sugar it will be a lighter crispier cookie. It also produces thinner cookies because it absorbs less moisture from the dough, allowing the cookies to spread more during baking. All brown sugar will be a denser chewier cookie. It contains molasses and adds moisture to the dough. A combination of both as written in the recipe will result in a happy medium, but the choice is yours.

The flour will also affect your finished cookie too. Another chance to customize. All Purpose flour is a blend of hard and soft wheat that's lower in gluten-forming proteins than bread flour. It is a good choice for these cookies and probably what you have in your cupboard. Cake flour will give you a finer texture and bread flour will give you a chewier texture. The choices are yours. You do you. There’s no wrong or right choice between these. If you feel compelled to do whole wheat flour, just don’t use it 100% in the recipe. Maybe 50% whole wheat and 50% all-purpose flour.

Make your cookie dough with 1½  to 2 cups of adornments. Dress it up, dress it down, day to night kind of thing. You could go with traditional raisins and walnuts or try something no one has thought of like peanut butter chips, banana chips, and crumbled bacon (OK, maybe Elvis thought of this). Did you know Oatmeal cookies always count as breakfast food, especially if you load them up with fruit and nuts? You don’t need 20 different Oatmeal Cookie recipes to make 20 different kinds of oatmeal cookies. It can be anything you want and will make your cookie yours. What are you going to put in your cookie?

Oatmeal cookies, 

Makes about 2 dozen

2 ½  Cups Quaker Oats (quick, old-fashioned, uncooked)

⅓ cup of milk (any kind)

1 Cup butter, softened (unsalted, but if you only have salted, that’s cool)

1/2 Cup light brown sugar (firmly packed into your measuring cup)

3/4 Cup granulated white sugar

1 Egg (room temperature)

1 tablespoon vanilla or bourbon

2 Cups all-purpose flour

1 Teaspoon Baking Soda

1/2 Teaspoon salt (skip if you use salted butter)

1 ½ - 2 cups of the mix-in you desire

Place the oatmeal in a bowl and sprinkle the milk on top. Give it a good stir until all the oatmeal has a light coating of milk. Let sit for 15-30 minutes, the oats will absorb the milk. This is a good time to get the rest of the dough going.

In a large bowl, beat butter and sugars until light and creamy. This can be done with a mixer or lots of enthusiasm and a wooden spoon. Add egg and vanilla (or bourbon); beat well. Add the flour, baking soda, and salt into a bowl and which together. Then add that to the butter mixture and stir until well combined, you should see no more dry flour. Add oats and whatever mix-in you have chosen; mix well. Stir until everything is evenly distributed. Chill for an hour or up to overnight. If you decide to chill overnight you will need some muscle to scoop out. You can skip arm day.

Drop dough in 2-tablespoonful amounts onto a greased cookie sheet, 2 inches apart. If you want a nicer shape, you can wet your hands with water and roll each cookie until smooth, and press down lightly on them. Bake for 13 to 15 minutes (depending on how crunchy or chewy you want them, the longer the cook, the more the crunch). The cookies will be soft right out of the oven but will firm up as they cool. Cool for 10 minutes on cookie sheets, then remove to wire rack. I line the baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and spray with a non-stick spray for easier cleanup.

Or…..

Press all of the dough onto the bottom of a greased 13 x 9-inch baking pan. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool completely in a pan on a wire rack. Cut into bars.

Cookie Adornments, show your cookie who’s boss. Add as much as you want but don’t go over 2 cups in total.

Raisin

Walnut

Pumpkin Puree (½ cup puree added to batter, cook an extra 2 minutes)

Crumbled Bacon

Toasted Coconut

Dried Cranberries

Chocolate Chips

White Chocolate Chips

Chopped Apple 

Pumpkin Seeds 

Chopped Dates

Chopped dried Figs

Toffee Bits (my fav)

Butterscotch Chips

Orange Zest (about 1 tablespoon)

Chai Spices

Candied Ginger

Banana Chips

1 teaspoon of cinnamon

Grated carrots

Chopped Apricots

Play with flavors and textures in your Oatmeal cookie. It will soon rival the chocolate chip cookie in every way.

I saw a cream of tartar at our pantry and my thoughts went straight to oatmeal cookie 😈

So here I am, impulsively making an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie for the first time.

I followed the recipe from this site

White Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are absolutely the best!! They really should be named disappearing cookies because they won't stay around long. Set your timer

I know it says white chocolate chip but I don't have any, I only have chocolate chip right now. All the the ingredients were just laying everywhere in the kitchen, like the cream of tartar.

Well, any ways I hope it works.

Well I’ve finally gotten Oatmeal’s look down, so here she is

Most of her character traits I already listed in the picture, I just kind of wanted to get the gist of her character down to a simple enough list of things so that I don’t go on for way too long

I’ll draw Porridge eventually, I just wanted to get Oatmeal’s design down first. Porridge is also around 5-6 by the way, she’s a young kid

I couldn’t decide whether to make her a farmer or chef, but then I realized that those two things don’t have to be mutually exclusive. She can be a farmer of oats, and then she takes those oats she grows and makes food out of it, so that’s what she does. I imagine in whatever storyline she has, she’d basically introduce oats into the local agriculture once she joins the kingdom

I’m not quite sure why Oatmeal comes to the Vanilla Kingdom, other than the vague idea of “having a better life”, but it could also be that she just had a bad home life. She’s supposed to have big trust issues with adults who are her age or older, which can probably tie into it. Right now I have the idea that she might have been the victim of emotional abuse within her family and/or a previous marriage. It’s not really fleshed out (and because I’m not really sure how to write that) but it’s an idea in my head

Speaking of her trust issues, I imagine that while Black Raisin may not be someone she mistrusts, as I sort of imagine Oatmeal getting the gist of her straight away and seeing she isn’t someone that seems dishonest, Pure Vanilla would be. Like it would take her a long while to get her to trust him. Not sure how she’d feel about Espresso, I feel like they wouldn’t really meet that much anyways. She’d get along just fine with the other Raisin villagers though

But in general she’s a very sweet lady, and she gets very easily flustered by compliments

I suppose I can talk about design now, but I’m not quite sure how to structure it all

This was her previous design, which is also what her hair looks like down

I had her design basically finished, but I was unsure about colors and when I asked I was told I should add some contrasting colors to break up all the browns. I was having trouble placing it though and I kind of just left her in my folder. A friend had suggested I tie her hair up, and while I initially refused because I didn’t want to change her lineart, this morning I ended up doing that. The bandana was originally a dark purple, and my friend suggested making it sky blue instead, and while I was changing colors I got the blue you see there and I liked it, and that’s what stuck

She’s supposed to have some amount of width and chubbiness to her, but I’m not sure how visible that is

Also I made her eyes yellow because when I looked up pictures of oatmeal, I saw a lot of them had bananas in them, so that’s what they are

I do wonder though if I made her look too NPC like. Like I can’t think of what combat skills she’d have in game, and best I can think of she’s a Healer or Support. And I feel like she just looks like an NPC you’d see in CRK

I also wonder if she looks “oatmeal” enough. I mean the hair’s supposed to be the oatmeal, but still

Anyways yeah, that’s Oatmeal Cookie. I think this description might have been a bit nonsensical but hopefully you get the gist of her. Hopefully I’ll draw more of her, as well as her daughter and her with Black Raisin. Hope you like her!
