We have been inside since Sunday. We are going a little stir crazy so I tried to do something different today than every other day. Therefore we made cookies. We certainly can't make cookies every day or we would all way 500 pounds!
These are some of the best oatmeal cookies that I have ever eaten! They have cinnamon in and smell so good when they are cooking. It is worth making them just to smell them. Maybe I don't have a lot of experience with oatmeal cookies, but I thought these were great! They were pretty soft too. Joel suggested using them as a sandwich for ice cream, which sounds like a great idea to me!
1 c butter, softened
1 c white sugar
1 c packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 c all-purpose flour
1 t baking soda
1 t salt
1.5 t cinnamon
3 c quick-cooking oats
1. In a medium bowl (or bowl of stand mixer), cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon in separate bowl, stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover and chill dough for at least one hour.
2. Preheat the oven to 375. Grease cookie sheets (which I only remembered to do the first time they went in). Spoon dough onto pan.
3. Bake for 8-10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for a few minutes and then transfer to cooling rack.
It says that you can flatten the cookies with a sugar-coated fork, but I think they would be crispier if you flatten them before baking. It took a little more than 10 minutes to bake them, but again, I am not too sure about baking inside a gas oven. Someone needs to make an oven that has gas burner and electric oven. That would be great!
