Oatmeal Cookie Recipes

Grandma's Oatmeal Cookie Recipes Are Real Easy To Make

Oatmeal cookie recipes were first popular during the Middle Ages, and they are still popular with cookie lovers today. It's because oatmeal cookies taste wholesomely delicious! They are the perfect cookie to snack on.

As I mentioned on another web page, I love eating oatmeal cookies after they have been chilled in the freezer for a while, but you can eat them anyway you want. I won't hold it against you. They taste absolutely delicious no matter which way you eat them.

Grandma and Mom made the best oatmeal cookies I have ever tasted, and now you can use the same old-fashioned oatmeal cookie recipes they once used to treat your friends and family.

Oatmeal Cookies

3 cups rolled oats, 3 cups flour, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 cups brown sugar, 1 heaping cup shortening, 1 level teaspoon soda, 1 cup boiling water; roll thin and bake in a moderate oven. --Mrs. K. M. Denoon

Oatmeal Cookies

6 tablespoons shortening, 1/2 cup white sugar, 1 cup rolled oats, 1/4 cup sour milk, 1/4 cup baking soda, 1 cup and 2 tablespoons pastry flour or 1 cup hard wheat flour, 1 tablespoon baking powder, 1/4 teaspoon salt.

This cookie can be made using all lard or a good commercial shortening, or half white fat and half butter. Cream the shortening well, work in the sugar, and add the rolled oats and sour milk alternately to the mixture. Mix and sift together all the fine dry ingredients (flour, soda, baking powder, and salt) and add gradually.

This makes a soft dough which should be well chilled (overnight or for several hours at least), after which it may be rolled to 1/6-inch thickness on a lightly floured board and shaped with cutter. Roll as little flour as possible into the cookies, to preserve their texture. Bake on a greased sheet in a moderate oven 350°F, 10 to 12 minutes. This amount makes about 3 dozen 2-inch cookies.

Raisin & Spice Oatmeal Cookies

1 cup flour, 1/2 cup shortening, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, 2 tablespoons milk, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 1/2 cup brown sugar, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup rolled oats, 1 tablespoon cinnamon, 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg. Mix dry ingredients and add shortening. Bake on greased pan.

Washington Whole Wheat Oatmeal Cookies

Mix all dry ingredients together, then rub in shortening with fingers. Add egg and milk mixed together. Drop spoonfuls on well-greased pan and press flat with bottom of spoon or spatula. Bake in moderate oven (350°F) 10 minutes. Makes 40 to 50 cookies.
