This is the best oatmeal cookie recipe that I have tried. It is quite versatile as you can add raisins or chocolate chips or just as they are. I took them to work and got many compliments! The key is to underbake slightly for a moist,chewy cookie. It is a large recipe making approx. 9 dozen (depending on the size you make them)
2 cups margerine
2 cups white sugar (I used 1 1/2)
2 cups brown sugar (I used 1 1/2)
4 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tsp salt (I used 1/2)
3 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
4 cups flour
6 cups oatmeal
Cream Margerine, sugar and eggs until light and fluffy. Add rest of ingredients in order. May add raisins or chocolate chips. I divided the dough in half and added 1 1/2 cups raisins to one half and 1 1/2 cups choc. chips to the other half. Roll into balls and bake on greased cookie sheet in 350 F oven for 10-12 minutes (until just a hint of brown). I flatten the balls slightly.
Yield : approx. 110 cookies. (9 dozen)
I have this old, green, duotang scribler full of recipes that I started collecting in my childhood when I first discovered my love of cooking. This book is now tattered with pages falling out and recipes written on scrapes of paper shoved in among the pages. It is time to rewrite the recipes so thought I would share them with you! You probably will not see picture but you can know these are tried and true recipes!!
