How to Make Big Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup shortening and 1 cup granulated sugar using an electric mixer until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs and 1 teaspoon vanilla extract until well combined.
- In a separate medium bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and 1/2 teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing on low speed until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 3 cups rolled oats, 1/2 cup sunflower seeds, 1/4 cup sesame seeds, 1/2 cup shredded coconut, and 1 cup raisins using a spoon or spatula.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto ungreased baking sheets lined with parchment paper, leaving 2 inches between each cookie. Flatten slightly with a fork.
- Bake for 10-13 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden brown. Larger cookies may take a bit longer.
- Remove cookies from baking sheets immediately and let them cool completely on a wire rack before storing.
