How to Make Oatmeal Cookies
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) oleo (or butter) and ¾ cup packed light brown sugar and ½ cup granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Stir in 1 teaspoon vanilla extract.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon baking soda, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined.
- Stir in ½ cup boiling water, 3 cups quick-cooking oats, and 1 cup raisins (or other mix-ins like chocolate chips or nuts).
- Mix until thoroughly combined. The dough will be thick.
- Drop heaping tablespoons of dough onto a greased or parchment-lined baking sheet, leaving some space between each cookie.
- Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 12-15 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the centers are still slightly soft. Do not overbake!
- Remove from oven and let cool on the baking sheet for 1 minute before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
