I had never made this recipe till I moved to Slovenia... but I jumped on it because the ingredients were simple and easy to find! They are now Dante's favorite cookie!
This simple recipe is from a friend's grandmother. We like to add chocolate chunks and nuts to ours, but the original recipe didn't have those things. They're chewy and delicious, as cookies should be!
Old-Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies
1. Mix:
- 1 cup shortening or butter (I use butter in every recipe!)
- 1 cup brown sugar (we prefer light brown sugar)
- 1 cup white sugar
2. Then add:
- 2 well-beaten eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
- 1 cup shortening or butter (I use butter in every recipe!)
- 1 cup brown sugar (we prefer light brown sugar)
- 1 cup white sugar
2. Then add:
- 2 well-beaten eggs
- 1 teaspoon of vanilla
3. Mix well, then add:
- 1 teaspoon soda
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 1/2 cups flour (the recipe says sifted flour... but who has time for that? they taste fine un-sifted!)
4. Mix well, then add:
- 3 cups oatmeal.
If you wish, add nuts, chocolate chips, or chocolate chunks.
5. Drop by spoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Bake at 350F for 12-15 minutes. Be careful not to over-bake or they'll get hard!
