SPICED OATMEAL COOKIES



Spiced Oatmeal Cookies image

I'm the fourth generation of cooks in my family to bake these cookies. When my grandmother sent me a batch for my birthday one year, I asked her for the recipe. That's when I learned it was originally my great-grandmother's recipe. It's one that I will definitely make sure gets passed on! -Loretta Pakulski, Indian River, Michigan

Tips:

  • For a chewier cookie, chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
  • If you don't have quick-cooking oats, you can make your own by pulsing rolled oats in a food processor until they are finely ground.
  • Be sure to measure your flour correctly. Too much flour will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • If you don't have a cookie scoop, you can use a tablespoon to drop the cookie dough onto the baking sheet.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges and just set in the center. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
