Grandmas Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

Directions

1. 1

   Heat oven to 350 degrees - you will need 3 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (again the parchment keeps the cookie from burning and makes clean up faster).

2. 2

   Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.

3. 3

   Beat together with mixer at low speed - butter and sugar until the sugar granulas are not visible. Increase speed and beat 1 minute longer, scrape sides as needed and add egg, beat another 30 seocnds. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time and incorperate well over med speed until mixture is smooth. Add oatmeal and stir into the dough using your rubber spatula.

4. 4

   Divide into 24 equal portions and bake for 13 to 16 minutes placing only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time and rotating the cookie sheet half way through your cooking time -- these are the best and the thinnest cookies and very crispy.
