GREAT GRANDMA JOHNSON'S OATMEAL COOKIES



Great Grandma Johnson's Oatmeal Cookies image

My Dad's Mom, Grandma Johnson, was the best cook and baker. Everything she made was delicious. A lot of what I learned about cooking and baking came from Grandma Johnson through my mother (Grandma taught my Mom how to cook).

Categories     Cookies

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 1/2 c all purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 c butter, unsalted
1 1/2 c brown sugar, firmly packed
1 large egg
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 c oatmeal (not the quick cooking kind)
1 c flaked coconut
1/2 c chopped nuts (optional)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  • 2. In a medium bowl, whisk flour, baking powder, baking soda, and salt; set aside.
  • 3. Cream butter and sugar together; add egg and vanilla until well combined. Mix in flour mixture. Gently fold in oatmeal, coconut and nuts (if using).
  • 4. Drop by teaspoonful onto greased cookie sheet. Bake for approximately 12 minutes or until cookies are lightly golden brown. For chewier cookies, bake for less time and for crunchier cookies, bake for more time. Cool on wire rack.

Tips:

  • To ensure the cookies are perfectly round, use a cookie scoop to measure out the dough. This will help create uniform cookies that bake evenly.
  • For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will allow the flavors to develop and the dough to firm up, making it easier to handle.
  • To prevent the cookies from spreading too much, place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from sticking to the pan.
  • Bake the cookies until the edges are golden brown and the centers are set. Overbaking will dry out the cookies, so keep a close eye on them in the oven.
  • Let the cookies cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely. This will help prevent the cookies from breaking.

Great-Grandma Johnson's Pineapple Drop Cookies are a classic recipe that is sure to please everyone.
