Oatmeal-raisin mitten cookies recipe

Step by Step

Step 1

Make the cookies: Pulse the oats and raisins in a food processor until finely chopped. Transfer to a large bowl. Add the flour, confectioners’ sugar, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg and whisk to combine. Beat the butter in a separate large bowl with a mixer on medium-high speed until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Reduce the speed to low and add the flour mixture; beat until combined. Beat in the vanilla bean paste. Divide the dough in half and shape each half into a disk. Wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate 30 minutes.

Step 2

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out 1 disk of dough on a floured surface until 1/4 inch thick. Cut out using a 3-inch mitten cookie cutter; arrange on the baking sheets. Reroll the scraps and cut out more cookies.

Step 3

Bake the cookies until lightly golden, 15 to 18 minutes. Let cool 5 minutes on the pans, then transfer to a rack to cool completely. Repeat with the remaining disk of dough.

Step 4

Make the icing: Whisk the confectioners’ sugar and meringue powder in a large bowl. Beat in 6 tablespoons water with a mixer on medium-high speed until stiff peaks form, adding more water as needed. Transfer to a piping bag. Pipe a border around each cookie, then fill within the border. Decorate with more icing and coarse sugar. Let set.
