Melissa’s favorite oatmeal cookies

I have been making these awesome oatmeal cookies ever since I can remember.  It’s definitely a family favorite.  My husband, my brothers and my young kids absolutely love them and I’m sure that you will cherish this recipe as well.

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!
