Oatmeal Cookies

Preheat oven to 350

Whisk together thoroughly:
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon nutmeg

Beat on medium speed until well blended:
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 1/2 cups packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 large eggs
2 1/2 teaspoons vanilla

Stir the flour mixture into butter mixture until well blended and smooth. Stir in:

3 1/2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats

Drop the dough about 3 inches apart, lightly press cookies down to form 1/2-inch-thick rounds. Bake, 1 sheet at a time, until the cookies are lightly browned all over and almost firm when lightly pressed in the center of the top, 6-9 minutes; rotate sheet halfway through for even browning. Remove the sheet ot a rack and let stand until the cookies firm slightly, about 2 minutes. Transfer cookies to rack to cool.

Becky's Notes: I bake for 11 minutes in Doha on airbake pan; 10 minutes in Okpo on airbake pan.

About this Blog

This is a collection of family recipes that I want to pass on to Anna (and Owen, Jacob, Raisa, & Sam) some day. I also plan to make a book of some type when we have collected enough recipes.

Recipes from Eldora are typed as they were written on the cards she gave me, any notes associated with the recipes are hers.
