BEST EVER OATMEAL COOKIES--LAND O LAKES

Best Ever Oatmeal Cookies--Land O Lakes image

I got this recipe years ago in a supermarket checkout cookbook called Fast Scratch Vegetarian--I think it MIGHT be from Land O' Lakes but my copy is fairly shredded so I can't be sure. At any rate, we have been making these for years, and though the recipe title is theirs I have to say I agree! I hope you do, too!

Tips:

Use old fashioned oats for a chewier cookie.
Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape.
Bake the cookies until they are just golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before storing them in an airtight container.

These oatmeal cookies are a classic for a reason. They're easy to make, delicious, and loved by people of all ages. Whether you're a seasoned baker or just starting out, these cookies are a great place to start.
