OATMEAL COOKIES- GRANDMA'S



Oatmeal Cookies- Grandma's image

These are the best oatmeal cookies around. Grandma soaked the raisins before adding them to the cookies, so they taste entirely different, and much better than most. Of course she made these cookies BIG and kept them moist by placing a slice of white bread in the cookie jar. Sometimes when I make these I use craisins, either...

Provided by Kathie Carr

Categories     Cookies

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 12

3/4 c raisins (or craisins, not in grandma's recipe but good)
1/2 c hot water
1 c butter, no substitute
1 c sugar
1 c brown sugar, firmly packed
2 large eggs
1 tsp vanilla extract
3 c old-fashioned oats
1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
1/2 c chopped walnuts

Steps:

  • 1. If you are using raisins place them in a small bowl and pour very hot water on them. Let them sit for at least 1 hour but not more than 3 hours. Drain them VERY WELL and then set aside. I usually put them in a paper towel lined strainer and pat them to dry well. Then follow recipe as directed. If you are using craisins simply measure them and set aside. Do not soak craisins.
  • 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in walnuts and raisins or craisins.
  • 3. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store cookies in a cookie jar with a slice of bread placed inside with them. This keeps cookies from drying out.

GRANDMA'S OLD FASHIONED OATMEAL COOKIES



Grandma's Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies image

I have the pleasure of reading and translating my gran's recipes - written in German some of them are difficult to translate - and then to take them from the era of lard and bacon grease to a healthier you - well here's one that came out great !! enjoy...

Provided by Ravenseyes

Categories     Dessert

Time 23m

Yield 24 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cup unbleached flour
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
14 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 3/4 sticks at room temp)
1 cup granulated sugar
1/4 cup light brown sugar (packed)
1 large egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 1/2 cups old fashioned oats (old fashioned type no instant stuff)

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 350°F - you will need 3 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (again the parchment keeps the cookie from burning and makes clean up faster).
  • Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
  • Beat together with mixer at low speed - butter and sugar until the sugar granules are not visible. Increase speed and beat 1 minute longer, scrape sides as needed and add egg, beat another 30 seconds. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time and incorporate well over med speed until mixture is smooth. Add oatmeal and stir into the dough using your rubber spatula.
  • Divide into 24 equal portions and bake for 13 to 16 minutes placing only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time and rotating the cookie sheet half way through your cooking time -- these are the best and the thinnest cookies and very crispy.
