Oatmeal Cookies


We have all heard of ‘Never Judge a Book By Its Cover’; but have we heard of ‘Never Judge a Cookie by Its Looks’….:):);) ?.  Please don’t judge these Oatmeal Cookies by its appearance;  they are chewy, tasty and full of goodness.

Please do try them. Hubby took a pack of them for his colleagues and I have got a request for a 2nd batch. Need I say more ?

Recipe :
1 cup brown sugar
½ cup unsalted butter softened
½ teaspoon baking soda
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon powder
½ teaspoon vanilla essence
¼ teaspoon baking powder
¼ teaspoon salt
1 egg
1-1/2 cup quick cooking oats
1 cup flour
1 cup chopped nuts (black raisins, walnuts, almonds, coconut shavings, dates, cashewnuts etc- your choice but make it one packed cup)

Heat oven to 375 deg F. Beat butter, sugar and egg till nice and fluffy. Add baking soda, vanilla essence, baking powder, cinnamon and salt. Mix. Then add oats, flour and nuts, little by little and mix with a wooden spoon.

Line a cookie sheet with wax paper. Bake for 15 minutes or till brown. Remove from wax paper after they are out from oven and cool them and store in an airtight container.
