GRANDMA'S OATMEAL DROP COOKIES



Grandma's Oatmeal Drop Cookies image

Make and share this Grandma's Oatmeal Drop Cookies recipe from Food.com.

Provided by Steve-0 2

Categories     Drop Cookies

Time 50m

Yield 60 cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

1/2 cup shortening
1 1/4 cups sugar
2 large eggs
6 tablespoons molasses
1 3/4 cups flour, sifted
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
3/4 teaspoon salt
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • First, mix the following together thoroughly in a blender: shortening, eggs, sugar and molasses.
  • ** I find its easier to measure the molasses when hot, so I stick the bottle in the microwave for a few seconds, and heat up my metal measuring spoon on the stove (careful).
  • Second, in a separate bowl, sift together the following: flour, soda, salt and cinnammon.
  • After these are sifted, slowly add them to the mixer with the ingredients from the first step.
  • Mix until fairly smooth, no lumps.
  • Fold in the oats and raisins.
  • This is pretty tough on the mixer, so unless you have a good one, you may want to do this by hand.
  • To bake, drop rounded teaspoonfuls (or whatever size cookies you want) on a lightly greased baking sheet, approx 2" apart.
  • I like to press the center of the cookie down a bit, so it cooks evenly.
  • Cook for approximately 8 minutes.
  • Notes: The cookies should be very soft, and even look un-cooked when you take them out of the oven.
  • -Don't worry, let them cool, and you'll be rewarded with an amazing, chewy, tasty cookie.
  • -Of course, if you prefer hard cookies, cook approx 2 minutes longer, but I recommend the chewy version.

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 cup unsalted butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg, at room temperature
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Cool the cookies in the pan for 5 minutes; then transfer cookies to a wire rack to cool completely.

Tips:

- **Use old-fashioned oats**. They will give your cookies a chewier texture. - **Don't overmix the dough**. Overmixing will make the cookies tough. - **Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes**. This will help the cookies hold their shape better. - **Bake the cookies until they are just set**. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly. - **Let the cookies cool completely before storing them**. This will help them keep their shape.
