All About the Oatmeal Cookies

"This makes a thick, crispy cookie, more about the oats than the butter and sugar (though there's lots of those too!)Make sure you flatten them before baking, they don't spread very much in the oven. I originally found this recipe on the Quaker Oats website."

  1. I finally found a recipe similar enough to my missing favorite Oatmeal Cookie recipe to replace the original! What a joy! I followed the directions for a crispy cookie since that is the kind I like. My dough was too sticky to make into balls so I just made nice big blobs by dropping onto the parchment paper with a Tablespoon instead. Worked great...and tasted even better! I discovered the last minute that I didn't have any raisins in my cupboard so since it was an option anyway I substituted chopped pecans. I will make these over and over in the future! Thanks No Brussel Sprouts...for a terrific recipe. BTW I got 4 1/2 dozen from the recipe. Made for Spring PAC 2010.
     
  2. I LOVE oatmeal raisin cookies and this recipe does not disappoint! I like mine slightly chewy so I baked them until they were barely cooked on top ~ YUM! Thanks for posting!

My sweetie and I live pretty-much smack dab in the middle of Vancouver Island in BC, Canada. It is truly a beatiful place to be, and such a nice change from years of living in Vancouver. We enjoy trips to the beach,camping, walks in the woods and the occasional cycle ride (though I complain the whole way!)
