GRANDMA HELEN'S OATMEAL COOKIES
Buttery and rich, this old-fashioned oatmeal cookie is fantastic. They're crunchy and crisp around the edges and chewy in the middle. Coconut adds tons of flavor and texture. It's what makes this different from other oatmeal cookies. We opted to add a 12oz bag of chocolate chips along with the coconut and loved these. If you love...

OATMEAL COOKIES- GRANDMA'S
These are the best oatmeal cookies around. Grandma soaked the raisins before adding them to the cookies, so they taste entirely different, and much better than most. Of course she made these cookies BIG and kept them moist by placing a slice of white bread in the cookie jar. Sometimes when I make these I use craisins, either...

Steps:
- 1. If you are using raisins place them in a small bowl and pour very hot water on them. Let them sit for at least 1 hour but not more than 3 hours. Drain them VERY WELL and then set aside. I usually put them in a paper towel lined strainer and pat them to dry well. Then follow recipe as directed. If you are using craisins simply measure them and set aside. Do not soak craisins.
- 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in walnuts and raisins or craisins.
- 3. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store cookies in a cookie jar with a slice of bread placed inside with them. This keeps cookies from drying out.
GRANDMA'S OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
Very moist (don't cook them too long), very rich in flavor, yet somehow not too heavy. Grandma's recipe! Even people who don't like oatmeal raisin cookies do like these.

Steps:
- Heat oven to 350°F - you will need 3 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (again the parchment keeps the cookie from burning and makes clean up faster).
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
- Beat together with mixer at low speed - butter and sugar until the sugar granules are not visible. Increase speed and beat 1 minute longer, scrape sides as needed and add egg, beat another 30 seconds. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time and incorporate well over med speed until mixture is smooth. Add oatmeal and stir into the dough using your rubber spatula.
- Divide into 24 equal portions and bake for 13 to 16 minutes placing only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time and rotating the cookie sheet half way through your cooking time -- these are the best and the thinnest cookies and very crispy.

Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats: They provide a heartier texture and more flavor than quick-cooking or instant oats.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough helps the cookies hold their shape and prevents them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a moderate temperature: This helps them to bake evenly and prevents them from burning.
- Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack: This helps them to set and prevents them from breaking.
Conclusion:
Grandma's oatmeal cookies are a classic comfort food that is easy to make and loved by people of all ages. With their chewy texture, sweet flavor, and hearty oats, these cookies are sure to be a hit at any gathering. Whether you're a seasoned baker or a beginner, be sure to try this recipe for a delicious and nostalgic treat that will bring back memories of Grandma's kitchen.
