Chewy and delicious. Everyone that tries my oatmeal cookies gets hooked! I recreated this recipe from memory from my childhood. They are so good, they have a place in every woman's cookbook in my family.
Ingredients:
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup shortening
1/3 cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups quick cooking oats
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Beat brown sugar, shortening, milk, egg, and vanilla extract in a bowl until mixture is creamy. Stir oats, flour, baking soda, and salt into moist ingredients. Drop dough by spoonful onto ungreased baking sheets.
3. Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.
