Simple Oatmeal Cookies or Cowboy Cookies image

These are some cookies that I made for my SIL when she was having issues with fibre in her diet. She was encouraged to have oatmeal and so I tried to find her a "good" oatmeal cookie. This was attempt number two. This recipe is adapted from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. I have included two versions of a great cookie. When I make the cowboy cookies, I make them BIG.

Time 18m

Yield 70 cookies, 45 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 1/2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup shortening, melted (can use butter)
1 tablespoon molasses
1/4 cup milk
1 3/4 cups oatmeal, uncooked
1/2 cup raisins
3/4 cup sweetened coconut, flaked (reduce oatmeal by 1/4 cup) or 3/4 cup sweetened coconut, shredded (reduce oatmeal by 1/4 cup)
1/2 cup chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°.
  • To make Simple Oatmeal Cookies: Mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl.
  • Stir in the remaining ingredients.
  • Arrange by teaspoonfuls on unbuttered cookie sheets. Leave about 1 inch in between. They do spread a wee bit. Not too much though.
  • Bake until the edges are brown, about 10-12 minutes.
  • For Cowboy Cookies: Add in coconut and chocolate chips when you add in the rest of the ingredients (Step 3). Drop them by the FULL tablespoon on a cookie sheet. (Might have to "squish" them a bit) Bake for 14-17 minutes or until mostly brown.
