{Because sometimes we just need a cookie}
One of my all time favorite things to eat are delicious homemade oatmeal cookies. Here is a recipe that is quick and easy and one that I know you will be over the moon with!
Ingredients for 3 1/2 dozen1/2 cup softened butter
1/2 cup shortening
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup sugar
1 tsp vanilla
2 eggs beaten
3 cups quick cooking oats
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
Preparation:
Step 1. In a large mixer bowl cream together butter, shortening, and sugars until light and fluffy.
Step 2. Beat in vanilla and eggs and add dry ingredients until thoroughly combined.
Step 3. Drop by heaping tablespoons 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
Step 4. Bake in 350 F oven until golden brown (13-15 minutes)
Step 5. Cool on baking sheets 1 minute and cool on wire rack.
Store in a tightly covered container........ Enjoy! P.S. If you prefer a crisper cookie, just press down with the tins of a fork before baking, and feel free to add a cup of raisins (my fav) and or nuts.
