How to Make Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- In a small bowl, dissolve 1 teaspoon baking soda in 1/4 cup boiling water. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter or margarine and 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add 2 large eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition.
- Stir in the cooled baking soda mixture.
- In a separate bowl, combine 3 cups rolled oats, 2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Do not overmix.
- Drop rounded tablespoons of cookie dough onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Flatten each cookie slightly with a fork.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until edges are lightly golden brown.
- Let cookies cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
