When I purchased a bottle of Chinese 5-spice powder from my Watkins lady, this is the recipe that came with it. Chinese 5-spice is a blend of aromatic seasonings and includes the licoricy taste of star anise. You can find Chinese 5-spice prebottled in many grocery stores or at an Asian market (or from your local Watkins rep).

SERVES 36 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

2 cups quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant)
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 cup coarsely ground almonds
1 1/2 teaspoons Chinese five spice powder
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons real vanilla extract

Directions

1
Preheat oven to 350°F.
2
In a large bowl, mix together the oats, flour, ground nuts, 5-spice powder, cinnamon, baking powder, and salt.
3
In another bowl, using an electric mixer, cream the butter and both sugars until light and smooth.
4
Add eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture and beat well.
5
Add flour mixture to the butter mixture and beat until blended.
6
Drop by mounded tablespoonfuls onto lightly greased cookie sheets, leaving about 1 1/2" gap between each mound of batter.
7
Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until done to your liking.
8
Cool on wire racks.
9
Makes about 3 dozen cookies.

LOVED these cookies!! I used old-fashioned rolled oats and whole wheat pastry flour for the all-purpose flour. I also used about a half cup less sugar and they were perfectly sweet! I just threw my almonds in my coffee grinder, as it was quicker and simpler than pulling out the food processor. I think I prefer the tiny pieces of nuts distributed throughout the cookie instead of bigger chunks.

These are sooo good. I have made them twice now. The second time I was out of almonds and used walnuts instead...still just as good! Thank you for sharing a really great recipe!

I LOVE me some 5 spice oatmeal cookies! These are really good! Good old oatmeal cookie texture but with a little added kick. I followed the recipe exactly, no need to change a thing. I baked my half for 13 minutes (I like soft cookies) and my husbands half 16 minutes (he likes 'em crisp). Thank you for sharing.
