Ripe Texas plums in a cinnamon and cardamom spiced oatmeal cookie dough finished with a generous drizzle of creamy cinnamon glaze make this a wonderful breakfast cookie.
Ingredients
- 2 sticks butter room temperature, unsalted
- ¾ cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs room temperature
- 1 tspn vanilla extract
- 2¾ cup flour
- 1 cup oats I use old fashioned oats.
- 1 tspn ground cinnamon
- ½ tspn ground cardamom
- 1 tspn baking soda
- 1 tspn baking powder
- ½ tspn salt
- 1 cup chopped fresh plums can substitute any stone fruit or ¾ cup plum jam.
- 1 tspn cornstarch
Cinnamon Cream Glaze
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 3 tbspn heavy cream add one tbspn at a time. Might need more or less depending on how thick you like your glaze.
- ½ tspn vanilla extract
- ½ tspn ground cinnamon
- sprinkle salt
Instructions
- Remove pits from plums and chop into ½ inch cubes. Sprinkle with teaspoon of cornstarch and set aside.
- In a stand mixer with paddle attachment, cream butter and sugars. This will take 3-5 minutes.
- Add in eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add in vanilla extract and salt.
- In separate bowl sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda and both spices. Add in the oatmeal on top of the flour mixture.
- Add the oatmeal/flour mixture to the butter mixture in the mixer on low speed. Mix until it is just incorporated, do not overmix.
- Remove mixing bowl from mixer and remove the paddle attachment from bowl. Mix by hand with spatula to make sure the bottom of the bowl is mixed well.
- Add in the plum and cornstarch mixture to the dough and, in a zig zag pattern, cut the plums into the dough making sure to not overmix. You will still see pockets of plums in the dough.
- Using a 3 ounce cookie scoop, portion out 15 pieces of dough onto a parchment lined baking sheet. You can also do this with 3 tablespoonfuls of dough.
- Refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes and up to overnight.
- Preheat the oven to 375*F.
- Place 6-8 cookies per baking sheet and bake for 12 minutes or until golden brown.
- Cool on wire rack completely before glazing.
Cinnamon Cream Glaze
- In a bowl with fork or whisk, combine all ingredients until smooth.
- If too thick add a teaspoon of heavy cream a time until it reaches a thick but pourable consistency.
- Drizzle on top of cooled cookies and allow to set for 15 minutes. Enjoy!
Notes
The spices in this oatmeal cookie compliment fresh plums so well. I love using the fact that these cookies have oatmeal and fresh fruit as an excuse to enjoy them for breakfast with strong black coffee. Yum!
