MOOKIE (OATMEAL COOKIES)

Steps:

• Mix butter and brown sugar until thoroughly blended. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Combine oats, flour, salt, and baking powder. Blend oat mixture with butter mixture.
• Stir in walnuts, coconut and raisins.*.
• Pack cookie dough into an ice cream scoop (4 oz size) or 1/2 cup measuring cup, scrape dough level with rim, and empty onto lightly oiled baking sheets, spacing dough about 3 inches apart.
• Bake in 350 oven until cookie edges are golden brown about 20 minutes. Cool cookies on a rack, serve or store airtight for up to 2 days.
• *TIPS: I have never added the walnuts, coconut or raisins to this recipe, so I do not know how they will turn out with them. BUT -- They are AWESOME without them!
• Also, I have made this using the 1/2 cup measuring cup, and by the teaspoon, I believe they taste waaay better when measuring the dough by 1/2 cup!

THE ESSENTIAL CRUNCHY OATMEAL COOKIES (KING ARTHUR FLOUR)

Steps:

• In a large mixing bowl, cream together the sugars, butter, shortening, salt, baking powder, spices and vanilla, beating until smooth.
• Beat in the egg.
• Stir in the oats and flour, then the raisins and nuts.
• Drop the dough by the tablespoonful onto the prepared cookie sheets. Using the flat bottom of a drinking glass dipped in sugar, flatten each ball of dough to about 1/4 inch.
• Bake the cookes for about 20 minutes, until they're golden brown; these are supposed to be crunchy, so don't underbake them.
• Remove them from the oven and transfer to a rack to cool.

• Beat the oat mixture into the butter mixture until smooth.
• Using a 1/4 cup measure or large cookie scoop, drop the dough on the cookie sheets, leaving 3 inches between cookies.
• Moisten your fingers and gently flatten each cookie to a 2 1/2 inch round or 1/2 inch thick.
• Bake the cookies for 18 minutes or until they're a medium golden brown.
• Remove them from the oven and let rest on the cookie sheet for 1 minute, then transfer to a rack to cool completely.
• The cookies will be soft and delicate when they come out of the oven, but will get firmer as they cool.
