Notes
Substitutions and Additions
I often times will use half butter and half crisco. I find that crisco will give the edges a crispy texture while leaving the centers soft and chewy, the way an Oatmeal Cookie should be. For a delicious Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies hand stir in 1 cup of Chocolate Chips into cookie dough before baking. It's wonderful. Add a cup of raisins for a tasty Oatmeal Raisin Cookie Recipe and bake as directed. Tried this recipe?Mention @bestcookierecipes or tag #bestcookierecipes!
