Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup (230g) unsalted butter, softened to room temperature
1 cup (200g) packed light or dark brown sugar
1/4 cup (50g) granulated sugar
2 large eggs*
1 Tablespoon pure vanilla extract (yes, Tablespoon!)
1 Tablespoon molasses
1 and 1/2 cups (188g) all-purpose flour (spoon & leveled)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 and 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups (240g) old-fashioned whole rolled oats*
1 cup (140g) raisins*
optional: 1/2 cup (64g) chopped toasted walnuts

Steps:

  • Using a hand mixer or a stand mixer fitted with paddle attachment, cream the softened butter and both sugars together on medium speed until smooth, about 2 minutes. Add the eggs and mix on high until combined, about 1 minute. Scrape down the sides and bottom of the bowl as needed. Add the vanilla and molasses and mix on high until combined. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, whisk the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt together. Add to the wet ingredients and mix on low until combined. Beat in the oats, raisins, and walnuts (if using) on low speed. Dough will be thick, yet very sticky. Chill the dough for 30-60 minutes in the refrigerator (do the full hour if you're afraid of the cookies spreading too much). If chilling for longer (up to 2 days), allow to sit at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before rolling and baking.
  • Preheat oven to 350°F (177°C). Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats. Set aside.
  • Roll balls of dough (about 2 tablespoons of dough per cookie) and place 2 inches apart on the baking sheets. I recommend using a cookie scoop since the dough can be sticky. Bake for 12-14 minutes until lightly browned on the sides. The centers will look very soft and under-baked. Remove from the oven and let cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely. The cookies will continue to "set" on the baking sheet during this time.

NORTHFIELD INN RHUBARB PUNCH



Northfield Inn Rhubarb Punch image

When life gives you rhubarb . . . if you're Aglaia Stalb, you invent a tart, tasty punch to serve at your inn. "I happened to have this huge rhubarb plant and had no idea to do with it, so I started experimenting," says Stalb, who has operated the Northfield Inn, a restored Victorian mansion in the heart of Vermont's Green Mountains, for almost 18 years. Guests enjoy this punch from wide porches with views of the Sugarbush Mountain Peaks and the village of Northfield.

ARTILLERY PUNCH



Artillery Punch image

Charles Fassinger and his wife Janet have served this potent punch at many a military bash over the years and the drink's name is highly appropriate: Fassinger, who retired from the Army as a Brigadeer General and now lives in Nashville, spent 20 of his 44 years of military service as an Artilleryman. "My last Artillery assignment was as an Artillery Battalion Commander," he says, "and the 'charge 7' and 'charge 5' references in the recipe are artillery speak for 'weaken the alcoholic continent of the punch.' Charge 7 is the largest propellant powder charge used in an artillery shell."

Yield Makes 11 buns

Number Of Ingredients 24

1 1/4 pounds cold Brioche Dough
1 cup raisins
1 cup boiling-hot water
For pastry cream
1 cup whole milk
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons water
1 1/4 pounds cold Brioche Dough
1 cup raisins
1 cup boiling-hot water
For pastry cream
1 cup whole milk
3 large egg yolks
1/3 cup sugar
1 1/2 tablespoons cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 tablespoon unsalted butter
1/4 cup apricot preserves
2 tablespoons water

Steps:

  • Make brioche dough the day before making pastry and chill.
  • Just before making pastry cream, soak raisins in boiling-hot water until softened, about 10 minutes. Drain, pressing out excess liquid, and cool to room temperature.
  • Make pastry cream:
  • Bring milk to a simmer in a 1 1/2-quart heavy saucepan. Whisk together yolks, sugar, and cornstarch in a bowl and gradually whisk in hot milk. Return mixture to pan and cook over moderately low heat, stirring with a wooden spoon, until mixture begins to boil. Simmer, stirring, until thickened and smooth, about 3 minutes.
  • Transfer to a clean bowl and stir in vanilla and butter. Cover surface with plastic wrap and cool to room temperature.
  • Make pastries:
  • Roll out brioche dough on a well-floured surface into an 18- by 11-inch rectangle with a short side toward you. Spread pastry cream evenly over dough, leaving a 1/2-inch border at top edge. Sprinkle raisins evenly over cream. Roll up dough, starting from bottom, to make a log 11 inches long and about 3 1/2 inches in diameter. Moisten top edge with water and press to seal closed.
  • Transfer to a cutting board or baking sheet and cover loosely with plastic wrap.
  • Chill until firm, about 1 hour.
  • Cut chilled log into 11 (1-inch-thick) rounds and arrange about 2 inches apart on 2 buttered baking sheets.
  • Let pastries rise in a warm place, uncovered, 1 hour. (They will increase slightly in size and feel very tender to the touch.)
  • While pastries are rising, preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Bake in batches in middle of oven until tops are golden brown, 12 to 15 minutes. Transfer pastries to a rack.
  • Simmer preserves and water, stirring, 1 minute. Pour through a sieve into a bowl, pressing on solids. Brush glaze onto pastries.
