KAT'S MOM'S FAMILY OATMEAL COOKIES



Kat's Mom's Family Oatmeal Cookies image

When I was a child in the late 50's, my grandmother became ill. My parents and I made the long trip from Norfolk, Virginia to McPherson, Kansas in our old black Buick. During our weeks in Kansas, I remember visiting relatives, riding tractors, and eating amazing meals in farm kitchens. We had to-die-for fried chicken and many Swedish dishes that were all new to me. One hot summer afternoon, my mother sat down in my Great Aunt's kitchen and handwrote many of those old recipes in a spiral bound notebook. When my father passed away, I was delighted to find Mom's notebook. I am passing on these recipes to my family and, of course, to you! This is a wonderful holiday recipe since you can make the mix in advance. When guests visit you can whip up a plate of fresh cookies in about 15 minutes. I love it when the aroma of baking cookies fills the house. Each batch can produce a different tasting cookie depending on what you add to them. Use quick cooking oatmeal for smooth textured cookies or regular oatmeal for chewy. Optional Add-ins: Chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, M&Ms, raisins, nuts, crushed corn flakes, cinnamon, etc. Use your imagination. Each of the 6 batches makes 8-12 cookies depending on drop-size and number of add-ins.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. These oats will give your cookies a chewier texture than quick-cooking oats.
  • Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies to spread less and hold their shape better.
  • Bake the cookies until they are golden brown around the edges. Overbaking will make the cookies dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before storing them. This will help them to keep their shape and texture.

Conclusion:

Oatmeal cookies are a classic recipe that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of delicious oatmeal cookies that will be enjoyed by your family and friends. So next time you're looking for a tasty and satisfying snack, give these oatmeal cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
