The Very Best Oatmeal Cookies image

One of the best oatmeal cookies I've ever tasted. A definite family favorite. They are fantastic without the optional nuts, raisins or chocolate. Photo by KC Cooker is how these cookies look when I bake them--fairly flat, chewy in the middle with crispy edges. Yum.....

Yield 36 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup shortening
1/2 cup brown sugar, firmly packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs, beaten
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
3 cups quick-cooking rolled oats
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup raisins (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F.
  • Cream together shortening and sugars.
  • Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.
  • Sift together flour, salt and soda.
  • Add to creamed mixture.
  • Stir in oats slowly.
  • Mix well. Add nuts, chips or raisins, if desired. Dough will be fairly stiff.

These cookies are the perfect comfort food. They are soft, chewy, and full of flavor. I love to enjoy them with a glass of milk.

I love these cookies! They are so soft and chewy. I always have to make a double batch because they disappear so quickly.
