These oatmeal cookies are very moist with a good flavor. Add one cup of raisins, one cup of nuts or one cup of chocolate chips or M&Ms if you desire.
Ingredients:
I cup butter, softened
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar, packed
2 eggs
1-teaspoon vanilla extract
2 cups all-purpose flour
1-teaspoon baking soda
1-teaspoon salt
1-teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups quick OR old fashioned cooking oats
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Beat in eggs one at a time. Stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon in a separate bowl. Stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover and chill dough for one hour. (I always skip this step and, though a bit sticky to work with, it works.) Grease cookie sheets. Roll dough into walnut sized pieces and place 2-inches apart on cookie sheets. Flatten each cookie with a large fork dipped in sugar. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes in preheated oven.  Allow cookies to cool on cookie sheet for five minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
