Melissa’s favorite oatmeal cookies
Ingredients:
2 sticks of butter
2 C flour
3/4 C. sugar
3/4 C. brown sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp Cinnamin
1/2 tsp nutmeg
2 3/4 C. oatmeal
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 C. raisins
(optional – you can do 3/4 C. raisins with 1/2 C. walnuts)
Directions:
Set the oven for 350°. Bake for 8 to 9 minutes for chewy cookies and 11 to 12 minutes for crispy cookies. I personally prefer crispier cookies, but the choice is up to you as you can make softer or crispier cookies just by varying a few minutes of the cookies cooking time. This oatmeal cookie recipe makes three dozen good-sized cookies – like the ones you can buy for two dollars each at a expensive coffee franchise like Starbucks. Enjoy with coffee, as dessert or as a great snack anytime of the day!
