The Very Best Oatmeal Cookies

These cookies are crispy on the edges and chewy in the middle. They are on the sweet side even though I only used a total of 1 cup of sugar: 1/2 brown/1/2 white. I also baked them for 9 minutes. Don't forget to flatten them out a bit because they don't spread very much. I didn't use any of the optional items because my family likes them plain.

I made these for our Fourth of July BBQ - it represented the "Amber Waves of Grain" in "America the Beautiful". I went with 1 cup raisins, and then added a 1/2 cup red hot candies which added a most delicious cinnamon flavor and crunch, not to mention a festive color to the platter. I made enormous cookies (used an ice cream scoop), and split one with my husband this evening. We couldn't keep our hands out of the dough! A++ Will bake again!

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.
