Re: Rsn Cookie Exchange!
Oatmeal Cookies
? 2/3 cup sugar
? 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
? 1/2 cup butter, softened
? 1/2 cup butter shortening
? 1 teaspoon baking soda
? 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
? 1 teaspoon vanilla
? 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
? 1/2 teaspoon salt
? 2 large eggs
? 3 cups old fashioned or quick cooking oats
? 1 cup all purpose flour
? 1 cup raisins or craisins (for a nice variation)
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Mix all ingredients, except oats, flour and raisins, in a large bowl. Stir in oats, flour, and raisins. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to a wire rack for cooling. The cookies will overcook if left on cookie sheet.
NOTE: For extra crunch - try adding 1/2 c. chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans).
