These are delicious cookies that are super-quick to make when you need to satisfy a cookie fix. Even my non-cooking roommates know how to make them, so we have these about once a week.. they never last for more than 24 hours. Try adding coconut, nuts, other dried fruit, etc...

SIMPLE OATMEAL COOKIES OR COWBOY COOKIES
These are some cookies that I made for my SIL when she was having issues with fibre in her diet. She was encouraged to have oatmeal and so I tried to find her a "good" oatmeal cookie. This was attempt number two. This recipe is adapted from The Fannie Farmer Cookbook. I have included two versions of a great cookie. When I make the cowboy cookies, I make them BIG.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- To make Simple Oatmeal Cookies: Mix the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt together in a large bowl.
- Stir in the remaining ingredients.
- Arrange by teaspoonfuls on unbuttered cookie sheets. Leave about 1 inch in between. They do spread a wee bit. Not too much though.
- Bake until the edges are brown, about 10-12 minutes.
- For Cowboy Cookies: Add in coconut and chocolate chips when you add in the rest of the ingredients (Step 3). Drop them by the FULL tablespoon on a cookie sheet. (Might have to "squish" them a bit) Bake for 14-17 minutes or until mostly brown.

Tips:
- Use good quality oats. The type of oats you use will make a big difference in the texture of your cookies. For the best results, use old-fashioned oats that have been finely ground.
- 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 moderate temperature. Baking the cookies at a moderate temperature will help them cook evenly without burning.
- Let the cookies cool completely before eating. This will help them set and develop their full flavor.
Conclusion:
