Cookie Recipe

June 21st, 2008

Mary Wong brought the best Oatmeal cookies to WWKIP Day in the park. There was much oohing and aahing over the cookies and they were gone really fast. I know I had something to do with them disappearing really fast but Andrea and Kumi asked for the recipe and Mary Wong very kindly agreed to provide them for the blog. So here it is:

 Oatmeal Quick Cookies

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup granulated sugar
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
2 eggs well beaten together
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (sift after measuring)
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
1 cup raisins (optional)
1 cup chocolate chips (optional)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)

Preheat the oven to 350F. In a large bowl, cream together the butter and sugars until well combined. Add the eggs and beat until creamy. Mix in the vanilla.
In a medium bowl, whisk together the sifted flour, baking soda, baking powder, and salt. Add the flour mixture to the butter mixture and mix well. Stir in the oats and, if desired, the raisins, chocolate chips, and/or nuts, and mix well (if too stiff add a little water). Drop by the teaspoon on cookie sheet. Bake for 15 minutes or until ready.

 Enjoy!!
