These are old fashioned homemade Oatmeal cookies. There are options for plain, raisins and many more ideas. A very versatile cookie batter.

ingredients:

• Cream together
• 1 1/3 cups brown sugar
• 3/4 cup shortening
• Add:
• 2 eggs
• vanilla
• Blend together
• Stir in:
• 3/4 teaspoon baking soda
• 1/4 nutmeg
• 1/2 salt
• 1 teaspoon or more of cinnamon I love it so I use more!
• 1 cup flour
• 2 cups old-fashioned oatmeal
• Optional Additions: Split the batter in half add 1/2 cup chocolate chips to one and 1/2 cup raisins to the other. Other suggestions would be using coconut in the same amount and any candy bar you prefer chopped.

instructions:

1. Blend all the dry ingredients until it forms together. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Drop cookies by spoonfuls onto a parchment-lined or greased cookie sheet.
2. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes. These make 3 1/2 dozen cookies.
3. Note: The longer you cook the crispier they get. Cook less for chewier cookies just until set on top 8 to 10 minutes.
