Make It Yours™ Oatmeal Raisin Mama Bear Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup Country Crock® Tub
- 1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 large egg yolk
- 2 tsp. vanilla extract
- 3 cups old fashioned oats
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tsp. ground cinnamon
- 1 tsp. baking soda
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 cup raisins
- 1 tub of vanilla frosting
- Chocolate covered raisins
- Chocolate cookies for the bear paw
- Toasted coconut
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Beat Country Crock®, light brown sugar and granulated sugar in large bowl with electric mixer until light and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Beat in egg, egg yolk and vanilla. Beat in oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt on low speed just until blended. Stir in raisins.
- Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 3-inches apart on ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake 8 minutes or until edges are lightly golden. Cool 1 minute on wire rack; remove from baking sheets and cool completely.
- When the cookies have cooled completely, cover the top with vanilla frosting.
- Place one chocolate cookie and four chocolate covered raisin to look like a bear paw. If the chocolate cookie is too large, use a round cookie cutter to make it smaller.
- Cover the remaining frosting with the toasted coconut.
- Preheat oven to 375°.
- Beat Country Crock® Butter, light brown sugar, and granulated sugar in a large bowl.
- Beat for 2 minutes until it’s light and fluffy.
- Beat in the egg, egg yolk, and vanilla.
- Next, add the oats, flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt.
- Mix on low speed and mix until just blended.
- Add 1 cup of raisins.
- Stir in the raisins.
- Drop the cookie dough on an ungreased baking sheet or Silpat about 3″ apart.
- Bake 375° for 8-10 minutes or until the edges turn a light golden brown color.
- Look at those beautiful cookies!
- Cool on a wire rack.
- Let the cookies cool completely before you begin to decorate.
- You need one chocolate cookie for each cookie. You may have to cut the cookie with a smaller round cookie cutter depending on how large you make your cookies. My mama bear cookies were a little small so I trimmed the chocolate cookie before I added it to the paw. Be warned, it will get a little messy.
- Cover the tops of the cookies with frosting. You can make your own or buy a tub of vanilla at the store to make things easy.
- Add the chocolate cookie and four chocolate covered raisins to the cookie while the frosting is wet.
- Sprinkle the remainder with the toasted coconut and enjoy!
