The EatSmart Precision Elite Digital Kitchen Scale is just that, elite. With a capacity of up to 15 pounds (and honestly, at home baking rarely reaches that much at one time!), this might just be the only scale you need. Measures in grams, ounces, and pounds – which is why it’s great for holiday baking! I also love how sleek looking it is, perfect appliance to leave out on the counter.
When I created this recipe, it was created in cups and teaspoons at first. This time around, I converted mostly everything to ounces using this scale, making it a recipe that is consistent always and I can look back on ten years from now and know that since it was scaled in weight measurements, the proportions will always be the same and the results will be identical at all times.
Now, about these cookies. Yes, they are oatmeal cookies but you won’t see a raisin in sight! This is a great base recipe that allows you to add a few fixings like dried coconut, cranberries, or extra chocolate chips. Make sure to cream your butter and sugars for a good five minutes to get that great incorporation of ingredients. Just don’t go longer than that, because cookies that are over mixed tend to spread too much!
