H.O. 'S OATMEAL COOKIES



H.o. 's Oatmeal Cookies image

I guess I'm showing my age when I remember H.O. oatmeal? I don't know if that brand exists anymore, but the recipe came from the box panel and boy were they good. Nothing fancy, just pure and simple ingredients make these wonderful oatmeal cookies. HO oats were quick cook oats and that they were small and powdery in texture. Maybe that's why there was no flour in the recipe??? Since I use whole oats which are hard to stick together; I put my oats in the food processor and pulse a few times which breaks them down and makes a kind of flour out of them.

Provided by Gingerbee

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 2 1/2 dozen, 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

3 1/4 cups oatmeal (pulsed in the food processor for a few times to make them kind of floury)
3/4 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Combine all the ingredients.
  • Blend thoroughly with hands until mixture holds together.
  • Press dough into 1-inch balls.
  • Flatten with a fork; Place on ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes or until light brown.
  • (You could add raisins, or chocolate chips to fancy these up).

Tips:

  • Use rolled oats, not quick oats or steel-cut oats. Rolled oats are the best type of oats to use in this recipe because they provide the right texture and chewiness.
  • Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • 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 a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will help the cookies get crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside.
  • Let the cookies cool completely before serving. This will help the cookies set and develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

These oatmeal cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are made with simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With a few simple tips, you can make perfect oatmeal cookies every time. So next time you are craving a sweet treat, give this recipe a try! Enjoy!
