These are not your ordinary oatmeal cookies. For one thing, they
don`t have those nasty raisins in them--those squished-bug-like
raisins that exist only to deceive the nearsighted into believing
they`re about to bite into a chocolate chip cookie. For another, they
are more crispy than chewy, with a delicate consistency similar to
sugar cookies. As far as I know, the recipe has been in my mother`s
recipe box since before I was born, labeled BEST Oatmeal Cookies. She
was right.
Preheat oven to 350┬░F.
If you want to make this vegan, use coconut oil and a vegan flax or
chia egg in place of the egg.
Cream together butter, sugar, egg, and vanilla. Don`t use
shortening--it makes all the difference in the world! And for even
more amazing flavor, brown the butter first.
Sift together flour, soda, salt, and optional ground flaxseed, then
add to the creamed mix.
Stir in oats and nuts.
Prepare a bowl of cinnamon & sugar. Keep adding cinnamon until you
get the color you want--darker if you want a heavier hit of cinnamon,
but if you`ve added the spices above you don`t need too much.
Roll dough into balls the size of small walnuts, then roll in the
cinnamon/sugar mix.
Use parchment to line the cookie sheets if you have it--handy stuff!
If you don`t have it, grease the cookie sheet.
Place on cookie sheet and flatten gently with your thumb or the
bottom of a glass. They do spread some so don`t crowd.
Bake at 350┬░F for 7-9 minutes; start with 7 to test your oven. Then
hide a batch for your snacking pleasure before you give your family a
taste. In my oven when I first posted this recipe 8 minutes brought
them to perfection; I now have a new oven in a different house and I
bake them for 7 minutes.
If you put two cookie sheets in the oven at once, then halfway through
rotate the pans top/bottom and front/back for more even heat
distribution.
After you take the pans out, let them sit for 1-2 minutes before
removing from the pan. This allows them to set up; if you try to take
them off the pan too soon they`ll be floppy and tear apart.
