| WE THINK THIS IS THE BEST OATMEAL COOKIE RECIPE. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE IT HAS MUCH MORE OATMEAL THAN FLOUR. For a thicker cookie, use shortening. For a better flavor yet thin cookie use butter. Or use 1/2 of each for the best from both. Oatmeal Cookies
3/4 cup Crisco shortening or butter or 1/2 each
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups old-fashioned or quick oats; uncooked
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder Beat together shortening, sugars, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer until creamy. Add combined remaining dry ingredients, mix well. Chill dough for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350°. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased (or parchment lined) cookie sheet. Bake until set; 8-11 minutes. For variety add nuts, raisins, or coconut.

| Jannie, be sure to not over bake these cookies for the soft texture you want. Remove them when they are just set and begin to turn golden around the edges. Always place cool dough on a cooled baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you grease the sheet with butter they will be more likely to burn. Marilyn |

This one came from the Colorado Cache Cookbook and are the very favorite of the techs at my ISP:
these are really good but BE SURE to soak the raisins first. Browning the oats and pecans add great flavor too but you don't have to do that-better if you do though.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
3 eggs, well beaten
1 c raisins
1 tsp vanilla
1c butter
1c brown sugar
1c white sugar
2 1/2c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
2 c oatmeal
3/4 c chopped pecans
Toast nuts and oatmeal til lightly browned and cool. Combine eggs, vanilla, and raisins and let soak covered with saran wrap for one hour before mixing into dough.
Cream together butter and sugars; add flour, salt, cinnamon, and soda to sugar mixture and mix well.Blend in egg-raisin mixture, oatmeal, and chopped nuts. Dough will be stiff-roll into balls the size of a walnut, place on ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten with a fork. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or til lightly browned.~
Yield: 6 dozen. |

Marilyn,
Made your Oatmeal Cookies yesterday, they are almost all gone! Thanks so much, they are (or should I say were lol) delicious. My grandchildren ate them up so quickly I knew I should have brought more over to them. Mom may not have thought so, but I did, being the Grandma and all. :)
Thanks again, the recipe is a keeper!

| You are so welcome Evelyn! I wish I could remember where I got the original recipe so I could give credit but it's been too many years. It's an awesome recipe for sure. Funny, I just pulled the last two out of the freezer yesterday...time to start baking cookies! Marilyn |

| I follow the recipe on the Regular Quaker oats container, using 1/4 c less flour. 1/2 the crisco & 1/2 soften butter for the other half. My FIL prefers these as Christmas presents or even my homemade apple pie. My DH and son can finish a double batch off in 2 days. Karen |
