Quaker Oats Oatmeal Cookies
Description
This oatmeal cookie recipe starts with creaming vegetable shortening and sugars to create a smooth, sweet fat base. The inclusion of both light brown sugar and granulated sugar helps develop moisture and caramel notes. Mixing in milk, vanilla extract, and a whole egg combines moisture and aromatic flavor, preparing the dough for the addition of dry flour, salt, and baking soda. The oats are folded in last, providing the signature texture and chew of oatmeal cookies.
Baked at 375°F for 12 to 14 minutes, these cookies develop lightly browned edges and a soft center. Spacing the dough balls two inches apart on prepared baking sheets accommodates spreading during baking. Cooling on the pan briefly before transferring to a rack ensures proper setting. The cookies offer a classic balance of sweetness, chewiness, and subtle crispness, suitable for snacks or dessert.
