With the help of a few modern gadgets, today I’m sharing a show-stopping recipe for Oatmeal Cookie Cones filled with luscious whipped maple cream. Imagine the warm, chewy texture of oatmeal cookies combined with the delightful crunch of a cone, all while being lavishly filled with a sweet maple-infused cream. Let’s dive into this delightful culinary adventure!
Ingredients
For the Oatmeal Cookie Cones:
- 1 cup rolled oats
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter, softened
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1/2 cup chocolate chips (optional)
For the Whipped Maple Cream:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup maple syrup
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Start by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper, ensuring it’s ready for those delicious cookie cones.
In a mixing bowl, combine the rolled oats, all-purpose flour, brown sugar, granulated sugar, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Mix them together until well combined; this is where the delightful aroma begins!
In a separate bowl, cream the softened butter until it’s light and fluffy. Add in the egg and vanilla extract, mixing until smooth. Slowly add the dry ingredients to the wet mixture, stirring until just combined. If you’re feeling a bit indulgent, fold in the chocolate chips for an added touch of flavor.
Now, here comes the fun part! Using a cookie scoop or spoon, portion out the cookie dough onto the prepared baking sheet. To create a cone shape, use a silicone cone mold (or if you don’t have one, you can shape them by hand). If you’re using a mold, press the dough into the mold, ensuring it’s compact and even.
Bake the cookie cones in the preheated oven for about 10-12 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. Once baked, let them cool for a few minutes in the mold before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
While the cones are cooling, let’s make the whipped maple cream. In a mixing bowl, pour the heavy cream, maple syrup, and vanilla extract. Using an electric mixer or a hand whisk, whip the mixture until soft peaks form. Be careful not to over-whip; you want a light and fluffy texture!
Once your cookie cones are completely cool, it’s time to fill them with that divine whipped maple cream. You can use a piping bag fitted with a star tip for a beautiful presentation, or simply spoon it in for a rustic look.
For an extra touch, drizzle some additional maple syrup over the filled cones and sprinkle with a few oats or chocolate chips on top.
Serve these stunning Oatmeal Cookie Cones at your next gathering, and watch as they steal the spotlight! Each bite will be a harmonious blend of chewy cookie and sweet, creamy filling, guaranteed to leave everyone wanting more. Enjoy your innovative dessert adventure!
