slice and bake

Friday, February 01, 2008

This cookie has been one of my favorite for a very long time.  My girlfriends mother in high school made them, and I sort of forgot about them.  They are really delicious, and I am so loving the slice and bakes.  I love the idea of having the dough in the freezer, ready to eat, I mean bake at anytime.  (Did I ever mention how much I love cookie dough?)  
This was last weeks and this weeks cookie, because it makes so much dough.  Four logs.

However, it could be easily cut in half.
Dunkin Platters:
1 box  brown sugar (16 oz) :: 1 lb melted butter (4 sticks) :: 2 cups sugar :: 4 eggs :: 2 tsp vanilla :: 2 cups oats :: 2 cups corn flakes ::  4 cups flour :: 2 tsp baking soda :: 2 tsp baking powder

Mix in order.  Add nuts if desired. Roll into logs wrapped in wax paper.  Chill for at least 2 hours before cutting.   Bake at 350 for 10-14 minutes. Can store in the freezer.

Happy Weekend!

  2. ooo, I want to try those too!

    So, if you freeze these then when you are ready to make them they have to thaw completely, right? (sorry, probably a dumb question!)

  3. totally printing this out. have you ever used nuts? if yes, what kind?? and do you slice and freeze, or do you freeze without slicing?

  6. hey guys,
    jill, i do not thaw before i bake. if the dough is too hard to cut, i let it sit for a about 5 minutes.
    and melana, i have not tried nuts in mine, i think the mother that made them used walnuts.
    also, freeze without slicing.

  19. I haven't told you yet but you have inspired us to bake cookies every week here! We've been doing it since Christmas. I am gluten intolerant so I have been playing with various recipes. My husband is begging me to stop because he's afraid he's gaining weight!

    We are so lucky you're active in the blogging world. Where would our cookie jars be without you? They'd be empty and lonely, that's where. Thanks for posting this recipe! I'm sure it'll be a hit at my household, too! I have my fiance, BIL, and the band (yes, I have a rock band that practices at my house a few times a week) that love cookies!

    I just mixed up the dough for these and ate so much of it I gave myself a stomachache! I'm looking forward to the few cookies that make it into the oven LOL.

  28. Oh, my YUM! Those sound terrific! I remember my college days of eating cookie dough...at home when we were younger we got so sick of birthday cake (6 siblings, plus cousin, aunts, uncles... lol) we used to eat cake batter at our own birthdays!

    So do you think I could make these with soy-butter?

  33. another cookie dough addict here...my sister makes huge batches of drop cookies and freezes them too (on a baking sheet then once they are frozen transfers them to a ziploc). They are so good frozen! :)

  34. Do you think these would mail well? I need to send a friend some cookies and since these make a lot, I thought it would be perfect because even after we eat tons we would have enough left over to send. They look delicious!

    Thanks so much for sharing it!

  52. I just make this and it is really good! Originally the batter was too runny (it was my fault, I think) so I added more flour and oat.
    thanks for the recipe!
    And you are right, the dough was yummy!

  53. Hi,
    I just found your blog and I am so glad!
    I tried these cookies and I am a little worried that it will become a far too frequent visitor at the table.
    Great job on the tangled yoke!
    I am starting my second one. My first didn't fit me but it did fit a friend.

    Hi -
    Just wanted to say I've made these cookies SO many times and they're fabulous. Also thought I'd add that the other day, I was at relatives' house and making them, but they didn't have corn flakes. We substitued 1 cup of crushed walnuts for the 2 cups cornflakes and they came out reeeally tasty - so that's good if anybody's looking to change it up a bit.
    One other thing - I learned the hard way that with these cookies, it's well worth one's time to grease the pan...;)
