Got this recipe for oatmeal cookies several years ago from a friend of ours in a Bible study group we were in. They were delicious so we have been making them ever since. The recipe below makes 4-6 dozen cookies. Someone in our house got us involved in a cookie exchange, so we had to kick it up a notch for 10 dozen.
Cream together:
- 1 cup white sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar, packed
- 1 cup butter, room temperature
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- Confectioners (powdered) sugar
In a separate bowl mix:
- 1 and ¼ cups sifted flour
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1 tsp. baking soda
Mix all together and then stir in:
3 cups quick oatmeal
Chill in the refrigerator for 1 hour, this allows the dough/butter to firm up and makes for a more consistent shape of cookie.
Roll into rounded teaspoon sized balls and place on lightly greased cookie sheet. I used a 1-1/2 teaspoon scooper.
- Bake at 350 degrees for 12 minutes (bake first six minutes on lower oven shelf and then move to upper oven shelf for second six minutes).
- Allow cookies to cool slightly in the baking pan and them move to a baking rack to cool completely.
- Dust cookies with confectioners (powdered) sugar.
