Ingredients
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine melted butter or margarine, brown sugar, and granulated sugar.
- Blend in eggs and vanilla extract.
- Add oatmeal and Grape-Nuts flakes to the mixture.
- In a separate bowl, mix Wondra flour with baking powder and baking soda.
- Gradually add the flour mixture to the wet ingredients, mixing until well combined.
- Drop rounded teaspoons of dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, allowing plenty of space between each.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes or until golden brown.
Tips & Substitutions
For an extra flavor boost, consider adding chocolate chips or nuts to the dough. If you don't have Wondra flour, all-purpose flour can be used, but it may alter the texture slightly. Ensure your butter is fully melted for a smoother cookie batter. Also, let the cookies cool on the sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to prevent breaking.

These Dunkin' Platter Cookies are perfect for a casual gathering or as an afternoon snack with a glass of milk. They pair beautifully with a Child'S Favorite Milk Shake for a delightful dessert experience. Consider serving them warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of flour?
Yes, while Wondra flour is recommended for its texture, all-purpose flour can be substituted. However, this may result in a slightly different cookie texture, so adjust baking time if needed.
How do I know when the cookies are done baking?
The cookies are done when they are golden brown around the edges. They will continue to cook slightly after coming out of the oven, so it's okay if they look a bit soft in the center.
Can I make the dough ahead of time?
Absolutely! You can prepare the dough in advance and refrigerate it for up to two days. Just be sure to bring the dough to room temperature before scooping and baking.
