I'm the fourth generation of cooks in my family to bake these cookies. When my grandmother sent me a batch for my birthday one year, I asked her for the recipe - not knowing I already had it in a booklet of handwritten recipes she'd given me. Embarrassed, I looked, and sure enough there it was. That's when I learned it was originally my great-grandmother's recipe...it's one that I will definitely make sure gets passed on! Ingredients:
1 cup shortening |
2 cups packed brown sugar |
2 eggs |
2 tablespoons milk |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
2 cups old-fashioned oats |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream shortening and brown sugar. Add eggs and milk; mix well. Combine flour, oats, baking soda, salt and cinnamon; add to the creamed mixture. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until done. Yield: 4 dozen.
