Grandma Stain's Oatmeal Cookies





I found this recipe and decided to make it for February's recipe exchange. Theme is family favorites. The recipe is from July 21 1992 Family Circle. Sharon Whitt won a blue ribbon at the Skowhegan State Fair  in Maine. This was her grandmothers recipe. I'm sure it was a favorite in Sharon Whitt's family!



Ingredients:

1 1/2 cups sifted all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup sugar
3/4 cup ( 1 1/2 sticks) butter or margarine
1 teaspoon vanilla
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1 cup quick cooking rolled oats ( NOT instant)
1 cup raisins


Directions:

1-  Preheat oven to 375 degrees

2- Sift together four, baking soda, cinnamon and salt onto waxed paper. Beat together the sugar, butter and vanilla at low speed for 1 minute. Scrape down sides. Increase speed to  high, beat 3 minutes. Reduce speed to moderate. Beat in eggs- one at a time. Beat in milk. Gradually beat in four mixture. Stir in oats and raisins.

3- Drop dough by slightly rounded teaspoons on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place dough 2 inches apart ( they will spread)

4- Bake in preheated oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned around the edges. Cookies will not be firm. Once out of the oven leave them on the cookie sheet a few minutes before removing them

5- Transfer to wire rack and cool.


Note: Oven temp was mentioned twice . Number 4 stated to bake in 350 oven.

  2. Everytime I see a picture of the cookies you make, I want to reach in and take one. These look sooo sooo good. When I bake cookies, which is rare, they never come out looking like yours do. You make them all so even. These are sure to make a big hit at the recipe swap. Looking forward to seeing what the other ladies bring.
