Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon ground juniper berries
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
Instructions
- Step 1: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Step 2: In a large mixing bowl, cream together the softened butter, brown sugar, and granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Step 3: Beat in the egg and ground juniper berries, mixing until well combined.
- Step 4: In another bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, and baking soda. Gradually add this dry mixture to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined.
- Step 5: Drop tablespoon-sized balls of dough onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them about two inches apart. Flatten each ball slightly with the back of a spoon.
- Step 6: Bake in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are golden brown. Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to wire racks to cool completely.
Notes
- For optimal freshness, store your juniper teagerbread oatmeal cream pies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
- If you prefer a warm treat, gently reheat the pies in a microwave for about 10 seconds or in an oven at 300°F (150°C) for a few minutes to restore their soft texture.
- Serve these delightful treats with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an extra indulgent dessert experience.
- When mixing in the ground juniper berries, be sure to taste as you go; adjusting the amount can enhance the flavor profile to your liking, giving it that perfect balance of earthy and sweet.
