My grandpa George is one of the most hard-working, dedicated, loyal, and physically fit men I know. He worked so hard throughout his entire life so that his family could have everything they needed and wanted. And when he wasn't working he was off riding his bike to the far ends of the earth, ok well maybe not that far but he was gone for hours. Now that he has retired Grandpa is enjoying the fruits of his labor. He has more "toys" than any other 70 year old man by far. The short list includes: 3-D TV, Blu-Ray Player, Playstation 3, a sick-ass Surround Sound System, and an iPhone. I am so proud of him! He worked so hard and he is finally getting to enjoy himself!!! I love him very much and hope he can enjoy these cookies while watching his sweet 3-D TV haha.
Soft Oatmeal Cookies By: BITTERSWEET1
"These oatmeal cookies are very moist with a good flavor. Add a cup of raisins or nuts if you desire."
Original Recipe Yield 2 dozen
Ingredients
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
3 cups quick cooking oats
Directions
1.In a medium bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour.
2.Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Grease cookie sheets. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a large fork dipped in sugar.
3.Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven. Allow cookies to cool on baking sheet for 5 minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
***I only really made one change if you will... I used a medium cookie scoop instead of rolling them and in turn it made about 50 cookies instead of 24***
