Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Cookies
One of the first recipes I posted on my blog (three years ago this week!) were these Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies. They have certainly been popular with family and friends. Many have taken the time to tell me how much they love the cookies and how quickly they have disappeared from their office’s break room when shared. I am here to tell you these Soft & Chewy Oatmeal Cookies are no different!
Unlike its predecessors, these cookies are so delicious they don’t need any chocolate chips (or raisins) to make them better.
They are that good!
They are just as the name describes.
Soft and Chewy centers.
With a slightly crispy edge.
(Thanks to all that butter)
They are incredibly simple.
Cream together the butter and sugars. Add an egg and vanilla. Stir in the dry ingredients and then a cup of Old Fashioned Quaker Oats.
Using a size #40 cookie scoop (there really isn’t a better size for the perfect cookie) place the dough on a couple baking sheets and in less than 10 minutes your world will be changed!
These are the perfect cookie to quickly make up and have ready for all those hungry kids (and teachers) who are just starting back to school.
Warm, delicious and soft oatmeal cookies are sure to make anyone’s day a little happier.
Including mine!
