Oatmeal Cookies
This recipe make a soft and chewy oatmeal cookie. Be sure to use quick oats if you want this texture. These would be great put together with some frosting in the center also.
The best cookie sheet is one made of heavy-gauge metal, so it will hold the heat evenly and won’t warp over time. It should not have high sides, which would hamper the even flow of heat over the cookies. Non-stick surfaces work well for cookie sheets, but dark surfaces cause the bottoms of cookies to brown too quickly. Double insulated cookie sheets will also keep the bottoms of cookies from browning to quickly.
Measure, don’t guess….In baking, accuracy really counts. For measuring liquids, use transparent or 1- or 2-cup marked measuring cups. Set the cup on a flat surface. For measuring dry ingredients, graduated cups make it easy to obtain the exact amount needed by leveling off with the sweep of a long-bladed spatula or knife, rather than just judging by sight.
