Oatmeal Cookies


Prep Time: 10 minutes
Bake Time: 12-14 minutes

Grade: A

Make Again: Yes

Recipe Source: King Arthur Flour (Website)

This recipe is pretty similar to the one you will find on Quaker Oats containers. The main differences are replacing half of the butter with shortening, more cinnamon and 1t of vinegar added. These are really good. They are different than my other favorite oatmeal cookie from the Best Light Recipe, which have a butterscotch flavor to them. The texture on these is really good. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. I've already made these a few times over the past two years, and I will continue to make them again.

This last time I tried an experiment of one pan with parchment and one without. There was a huge difference! The pan without the parchment, although lighter, ended up almost burning the bottoms of my cookies. From now on, if it tells me to use the paper, I will.
