The Very Best Oatmeal Cookies

One of the best oatmeal cookies I've ever tasted. A definite family favorite. They are fantastic without the optional nuts, raisins or chocolate. Photo by KC Cooker is how these cookies look when I bake them--fairly flat, chewy in the middle with crispy edges. Yum.....
36 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening
- 1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
- 1/2 cup raisins (optional)
Directions
1
Preheat oven to 350°F.2
Cream together shortening and sugars.3
Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.4
Sift together flour, salt and soda.5
Add to creamed mixture.6
Stir in oats slowly.7
Mix well. Add nuts, chips or raisins, if desired. Dough will be fairly stiff.8
Drop by heaping tablespoon on lightly greased cookie sheet. (I use a 4 teaspoon cookie scoop and press them down slightly before baking).9
Bake for 8-10 minutes.

This really wasn't that good. I prefer cookies that use old-fasioned oats. If you really want the very best oatmeal cookies, try Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.

This was a good oatmeal cookie recipe but it wasn't the very best I have tasted. I was surprised by people saying they were the very best. The quakers oats famous recipe is better. I baked as directed and as several readers said they need to cook a bit longer. Maybe about 12 minutes

These are great, nice texture, lovely and soft. I reduced the sugar to 3/4 of a cup and used a 'light' sugar which is a mix of splenda and regular sugar. I added 1/2 cup of chopped hazlenuts and 1/2 cup of mixed white and dark chocolate chip. Next time I might reduce the sugar a little more, because they were still very sweet, and I like to cut it down as much as possible.
