BROWN SUGAR OATMEAL COOKIES
We love letting brown sugar shine in cookie recipes! Brown sugar not only works as the main source of sweetness but also has more moisture than white sugar and makes cookies a little softer and chewier, just like this recipe for easy brown sugar oatmeal cookies. We used only simple ingredients you likely already have on hand so this can be your new go-to oatmeal cookie recipe when you want to make a large batch of cookies in less than an hour. While these cookies are perfect on their own, they also pair well with a glass of milk or a scoop of ice cream for an extra-indulgent treat!

BROWN SUGAR AND OATMEAL SHORTBREAD
These have a wonderful texture - buttery, melt-in-your-mouth soft, yet a little crunchy. The cornstarch makes this shortbread especially tender, while the addition of oatmeal give it a bit of crunch. Using old-fashioned oats instead of quick-cooking will provide more crunch. Recipe by Elinor Klivans. These can be made ahead and frozen up to 3 months. Wrap them tightly with plastic wrap, then seal in a clean plastic/metal container.

MAPLE BROWN SUGAR OATMEAL COOKIES
I chose these as a last-minute addition to my Thanskgiving 2015 menu after seeing a recipe online and remembering that a friend had never tried maple syrup before. Turns out, they were even more popular than the store-bought dessert and went like hotcakes! Even my significant other, who doesn't like maple syrup and isn't a big fan of oatmeal, couldn't stop eating them! I found the original oatmeal amount a bit much, so I've reduced it here. I also found these cookies were better the day after being baked. I also left the batter to sit in the fridge overnight, although the original recipes says to let it sit for at least 3 hours to allow the oatmeal to soften up and absorb the flavors.

WWII OATMEAL MOLASSES COOKIES
This was my Grandmother's recipe from the 1940's. These cookies use molasses in place of brown sugar, which was one of the items rationed during the war (and harder to get than white sugar, they tell me). To me they're better than regular oatmeal cookies!

Tips:
- Use rolled oats: These provide a chewy texture and nutty flavor to the cookies.
- Cream the butter and sugars together until light and fluffy: This will help the cookies spread and create a tender crumb.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes: This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set: Overbaking will make the cookies dry.
- Let the cookies cool on a wire rack: This will help them to firm up and prevent them from becoming soggy.
Conclusion:
Brown sugar oatmeal cookies are a classic and delicious treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized with a variety of add-ins, such as nuts, chocolate chips, or dried fruit. These cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them!
