these are my favorite favorte oatmeal cookies! they bake up so delicious. I think i ate 5 right out of the oven. We are a cookie family, yes i blame Hudsons cookie addiction entirely on me. I do a couple things different from the recipe. I use whole grain flour and put extra cinnamon in because i never put any "toppings" in the cookie. i just like plain old oatmeal cinnamon. yum. enjoy!
3/4 c. shortening
1 1/4 c. firmly packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp. vanilla
1/3 c. milk
Beat until creamed then add:
3 cups quick oats
1 cup flour
1/2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
Mix at low speed just until blended. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls unto cookie sheet. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.
you can add different extras to the cookie base if you want, like i said i never do, i just add extra cinnamon but feel free to add:
butterscotch chips
mini peanut butter cups
white chocolate chips with macadamia nuts
raisins
m&m's
white chocolate and dried cranberry
chocolate, mini marshmallows, and chopped almonds
You really can't go wrong. Enjoy!
