Time 25m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup shortening
⅓ cup milk
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
4 cups quick cooking oats
1 ¾ cups all-purpose flour, or more if needed
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  • 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.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until cookies are lightly golden brown, 8 to 10 minutes.

Tips:

  • Use old-fashioned oats. Steel-cut oats are too chewy and quick-cooking oats will make the cookies too soft.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the cookies tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
  • Bake the cookies at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-12 minutes. Baking the cookies at too high a temperature will make them dry and crumbly.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack. This will help them to set and prevent them from breaking.

Conclusion:

These 4-H oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are soft and chewy, with a slightly crispy exterior. The combination of oats, raisins, and nuts gives them a complex flavor and texture that everyone will enjoy. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy cookie recipe, give these 4-H oatmeal cookies a try. You won't be disappointed!
