WE THINK THIS IS THE BEST OATMEAL COOKIE RECIPE. I THINK IT'S BECAUSE IT HAS MUCH MORE OATMEAL THAN FLOUR.

For a thicker cookie, use shortening. For a better flavor yet thin cookie use butter. Or use 1/2 of each for the best from both.

{{gwi:1497434}}

3/4 cup Crisco shortening or butter or 1/2 each
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups old-fashioned or quick oats; uncooked
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder

Beat together shortening, sugars, egg, and vanilla with an electric mixer until creamy. Add combined remaining dry ingredients, mix well. Chill dough for 1 hour. Preheat oven to 350Â°. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto greased (or parchment lined) cookie sheet. Bake until set; 8-11 minutes. For variety add nuts, {{gwi:1497435}}, or coconut. (Dried cranberries & white chocolate chips)

Jannie, be sure to not over bake these cookies for the soft texture you want. Remove them when they are just set and begin to turn golden around the edges.

Always place cool dough on a cooled baking sheet lined with parchment paper. If you grease the sheet with butter they will be more likely to burn.

ere are two recipes that I like. Hope you have success with them! Chocolate Cut Out Cookies Cookie type: cut outs This is another recipe from www.cookierecipe.com. The recipe was submitted by Robin J. The cookies will puff up slightly. The recipe makes about 6 dozen cookies depending on the cookie cutter. Ingredients 1 cup butter or margarine 2 cups white sugar 3 eggs 2 teas vanilla 3 cups flour 1 teas baking powder 10 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder Directions Cream butter and sugar until light and fluffy; add eggs, beating well. Mix in vanilla. Combine flour cocoa powder and baking powder, add to cream mixture. Mix well. Cover and chill for 2 hours. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Divide dough in half. Roll out each half to Â¼ inch thick. Cut with cookie cutters. Place on lightly greased cookie sheets. Decorate. Bake 10 to 12 minutes. Decorate. Cut-Out Chocolate Cookies Cookie Type: Cut-out This is another recipe out of HersheyÂs Best-Loved recipes. Good texture and taste. It makes about 3 dozen cookies depending on the size of your cookie cutters. Ingredients Â½ cup (1 stick) butter or margarine, softened Â¾ cup sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon vanilla extract 1 Â½ cups flour 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa Â½ teaspoon baking powder Â½ teaspoon baking soda Â¼ teaspoon salt Directions: Beat butter, sugar, egg and vanilla in a large bowl until and fluffy. Combine flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda and salt; add to butter mixture, blending well. Chill dough about 1 hour or until firm enough to roll. Heat oven to 325 degrees F. On a lightly floured board or between 2 pieces of wax paper roll a small portion of the dough at a time to Â¼ inch thickness. Cut into desired shapes with cookie cutters; place on an ungreased sheet. Bake 5 to 7 minutes or until no indentations remain when touched lightly. Cool slightly and remove from cookie sheet onto wire racks. Coo completely, decorate as desired. Hints, Tips, Tricks and How to Cheat: I found that the dough cracked when I tried to roll it out after chilling. The dough needs to be at room temperature. The cookies also needed a longer baking period 8-9 minutes. Also, I found that if you roll the dough on a silicone mat that is floured, then cut out the cookies, it makes it easier to get the cookies onto the baking sheet.

How about chocolate lace cookies? MILK CHOCOLATE FLORENTINE LACE COOKIES COOKIES: 2/3 c. butter 2 c. quick oats, uncooked 1 c. sugar 2/3 c. flour 1/4 c. corn syrup 1/4 c. milk 1 tsp. vanilla extract 1/4 tsp. salt FILLING: 1 (11 1/2 oz.) pkg. (2 c.) milk chocolate morsels Cookies: Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Melt butter in saucepan. Remove from heat; stir in oats, sugar, flour, corn syrup, milk, vanilla extract, and salt; mix well. Drop by level teaspoonfuls, 3 inches apart onto foil-lined cookie sheets. Spread thin with rubber spatula. Bake 5 to 7 minutes. Let cool. Peel foil away from cookies. Filling: Melt over hot (not boiling) water, milk, and chocolate morsels; stir until smooth. Spread chocolate on the flat side of each half of the cookies. Top with remaining cookies. My notes Do not go larger than a teaspoon. Only place 6 on a large cookie sheet and stagger them, they will run together if too close or too large. I put then in the fridge for about 30 minutes to get the chocolate to set before placing them in the cookie tin. I also sprayed the foil with Pam since another version mentioned greasing the tin foil. I lifted the foil onto racks to cool as well.

Here's another Quaker Oatmeal recipe that I found in "Everyday FOOD" January/February 2007 (from the kitchens of Martha Stewart Living). I just made these today and you could put any type of dried fruit in place of the dried cherries - or leave the fruit out entirely and you'd still have a great cookie. These are nice and soft with a nice undertone of spice. -Grainlady Chewy Cherry-Oatmeal Cookies 1 c. (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened OR 1 c. apple butter (for a healthier alternative) 1 c. packed light-brown sugar 1/4 c. honey 2 large eggs 1-1/2 t. vanilla extract 1-1/4 c. all-purpose flour 1-1/2 t. cinnamon 1 t. baking soda 1/4 t. freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 t. salt 3 c. Quaker old-fashioned rolled oats 1 c. dried cherries 1. Preheat oven to 350Â°F. Line 2 baking sheets with nonstick baking mats or parchment paper. 2. In a small bowl, whisk together the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, nutmeg, and salt; set aside. Place the butter, sugar, and honey in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; beat on medium-high speed until light and fluffy, about 4 minutes. Add the eggs and vanilla, and beat to combine. With the mixer on low, gradually add reserved flour mixture and beat until incorporated. Stir in oats and cherries. 3. Drop 1 tablespoon of dough at a time about 2 inches apart on prepared baking sheets. Bake until lightly golden brown, 10-12 minutes. Let cool on sheets for 5 minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely. Cookies can be kept in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. Makes about 4 dozen. (Note of experience: allow mixture to sit, refrigerated, for 20 minutes before baking. You could easily add 1 c. chopped walnuts, if you'd like.) My high-fiber, no-sugar changes... (changes have a *) 1 c. butter *1 c. agave nectar (natural, low-glycemic sweetener) 2 large eggs 1-1/2 t. vanilla 3/4 c. all-purpose flour *3/4 c. freshly-milled soft white wheat flour *3 T. flaxmeal 1-1/2 t. ground cinnamon (I used Penzey's Chinese Cassia) 1 t. soda 1/4 t. freshly grated nutmeg 1/2 t. salt 3 c. Quaker old-fashioned rolled oats 1 c. dried cherries *1 c. chopped walnuts

This one came from the Colorado Cache Cookbook and are the very favorite of the techs at my ISP:
these are really good but BE SURE to soak the raisins first. Browning the oats and pecans add great flavor too but you don't have to do that-better if you do though.
Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
3 eggs, well beaten
1 c raisins
1 tsp vanilla
1c butter
1c brown sugar
1c white sugar
2 1/2c flour
1 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking soda
2 c oatmeal
3/4 c chopped pecans
Toast nuts and oatmeal til lightly browned and cool. Combine eggs, vanilla, and raisins and let soak covered with saran wrap for one hour before mixing into dough.
Cream together butter and sugars; add flour, salt, cinnamon, and soda to sugar mixture and mix well.Blend in egg-raisin mixture, oatmeal, and chopped nuts. Dough will be stiff-roll into balls the size of a walnut, place on ungreased cookie sheet, and flatten with a fork. Bake at 350Â° for 10-12 minutes or til lightly browned.~
Yield: 6 dozen.

Marilyn,
Made your Oatmeal Cookies yesterday, they are almost all gone! Thanks so much, they are (or should I say were lol) delicious. My grandchildren ate them up so quickly I knew I should have brought more over to them. Mom may not have thought so, but I did, being the Grandma and all. :)
Thanks again, the recipe is a keeper!

You are so welcome Evelyn! I wish I could remember where I got the original recipe so I could give credit but it's been too many years. It's an awesome recipe for sure. Funny, I just pulled the last two out of the freezer yesterday...time to start baking cookies!

I follow the recipe on the Regular Quaker oats container, using 1/4 c less flour. 1/2 the crisco & 1/2 soften butter for the other half. My FIL prefers these as Christmas presents or even my homemade apple pie.

My DH and son can finish a double batch off in 2 days.
