YOUR'S LOOK SOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN MINE!
My husband loves oatmeal/raisin cookies, but mine are flat and hard. Yours look like chocolate chip cookies, which is what I keep trying for but never achieve. My horse loves them, though.

going to wait until Wednesday to get them

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!! Tuesday morning at the very latest! Or you'll be trapped in mobs & mobs of angry shoppers farting in every aisle. & 1,000 car accidents in every parking lot...if you can get into the lot.

Anyhoo...I love me a plain oatmeal cookie with a cup of black coffee & a ciggie!

I hope everybody has the turkey in the fridge...if it's in the freezer still...it's already too late.

Thanks for the advice. I will just have to get to the store early Wednesday morning, I will pick up my TG dinner on Wednesday. I'm not cooking all of that food. I only want to try out this new recipe, and bake them on Thursday. This is more of an experience for me.

I might do a combination of plain oatmeal cookies and some with pecans and raisins

Looks yummy!

It took me two weeks and a trip to three different stores to find all of the ingredients.

Store #2 I finally found the Morton Kosher salt. Only two were left in stock. At store #3 I chose the pure Irish butter unsalted and finally found the "roasted" pecans I got the planters roasted pecans.

Looks yummy!

I'll finally get to use the Kitchen Aide mixer instead of it just sitting pretty on the counter.

In the baking isle you'll find nuts, but the roasted nuts are on a different isle. That was a bit tricky for me, but I was determined to follow the recipe correctly and I finally found the roasted pecans.

I also knew I had to get all the ingredients two weeks before others started shopping for ingredients. I'll get the eggs in a few days.

I chose oatmeal cookies to make from scratch because they are the healthiest to eat.

 

[crossbody]

I was at a Walmart store and I saw a container of Royal Dansk Danish Butter Cookies.

I looked at the ingredients on the back of the round container and they had both: ammonium and bicarbonate in the ingredient label.

These oatmeal cookies when you make them from scratch the homemade way those types of bad ingredients are not in homemade cookies.

They look absolutely DELISH!

My husband loves oatmeal/raisin cookies, but mine are flat and hard.

Make sure you use enough baking power and whip the batter full of air and add the heavy stuff last right before you put it on the baking sheet.

My horse loves them, though.

Lucky horses.

Thank You! This recipe is very helpful.

All of my nieces and nephews(12 of them) have a bake-off contest every holiday season and the family judges their creations after dinner.

All of us aunts and uncles chip in and give the winner 500.00.

Been doing that for about 10 years now.
