Ingredients
- 1.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 1.5 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
- 0.5 cup granulated sugar
- 0.5 cup brown sugar, packed
- 0.5 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon orange zest
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon ground cardamom
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.75 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Step 2
In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, oats, cinnamon, cardamom, baking powder, and salt. Set aside.
Step 3
In a large mixing bowl, use a hand or stand mixer to cream together the softened butter, granulated sugar, and brown sugar until light and fluffy, about 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Add the egg, vanilla extract, and orange zest to the creamed mixture. Beat until well combined.
Step 5
Gradually add the dry ingredients into the wet ingredients, mixing just until incorporated. Avoid overmixing.
Step 6
Fold in the chopped walnuts gently with a spatula.
Step 7
Scoop out tablespoon-sized portions of dough and place them about 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. Flatten slightly with the back of a spoon or your fingers.
Step 8
Bake in preheated oven for 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers look slightly undercooked. The cookies will firm up as they cool.
Step 9
Allow the cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
Step 10
Serve and enjoy your Lebanese Oatmeal Cookies with tea or coffee!
