How to Make Amish Friendship Starter Oatmeal Cookies

  1. **Combine Mixture 1:** In a medium bowl or large glass measuring cup, whisk together 1 cup Amish Friendship Starter, 1/2 cup brown sugar, and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
  2. **Mix well:** Mix the ingredients thoroughly with a fork.
  3. **Combine Mixture 2:** In a large bowl, cream together 1/2 cup (1 stick) softened butter and 1/2 cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy. (A stand mixer works great here!)
  4. **Cream butter and sugar:** Beat until the mixture is light and fluffy using an electric mixer.
  5. **Add Mixture 1:** Gently fold in Mixture 1 (Amish Friendship Starter mixture) into the creamed butter and sugar.
  6. **Combine Mixture 3:** In a separate bowl, combine 1 1/2 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1/2 teaspoon baking soda, and 1/4 teaspoon salt.
  7. **Add Mixture 3:** Gradually add Mixture 3 (oat mixture) to the large bowl, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
  8. **Add Mixture 4 (Optional):** Add 1/2 cup chocolate chips or nuts (optional) and mix gently.
  9. **Portion and Bake:** Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
  10. **Bake:** Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown. (Keep a close eye on them, as oven temperatures can vary).
  11. **Cool:** Let the cookies cool on the baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
