Easy Oatmeal Cookies

 Stephen (Oklahoma) says:
Very yummy.
Yes, as per above posters
1.) add 2 eggs
2.) add 1/2 cup flour

My additions-
1.) add 1/2 cup milk
2.) add 1 cup raisins
3.) add a small amount of salt, a few dashes
4.) use baking powder (about a teaspoon) instead of baking soda if you have it, I think it does better myself
5.) add a teaspoon of vanilla
7.) I'm also adding 1 banana this time, I hope it tastes great, I think it will!
8.) I wish I had some finely chopped nuts like pecans or walnuts- that would be awesome! Alas / I don't right now though :-/. 8-D

I made this recipe with my grandma and I put less of everything except flour. I put one egg, a skimpy cup of sugar (not full), 1 1/2 cup oats, 1 stick of butter, a couple spoonfuls of apple sauce, 1/2 cup raisins, a spoonful of baking soda dissolved in lemon juice (no I didn't measure the soda), 2 caps worth vanilla. That's it! Our oven is a little weird so we had to flip the cookies over so the top could bake as well and the bottoms wouldn't burn. We also changed the temperatures so they wouldn't burn. In the end they turned out really well!

I like them. I added half a bag of chocolate chips. They came out a bit crispy, but light and delicious.

A bit dry so I melted butter and added cocoa powder and honey. I'm far from any type of skill when it comes to cooking, I think I did fine, kid and husband weren't too confident and didn't try them :)

In a family of five picky eaters , it was awesome to find a cookie recipe unanimously praised by everyone ! This was the simplest recipe I found and they came out moist and crumbly ...the one adjustment I made was I reduced the sugar by half (I use brown sugar ) and added just a dash of almond milk to make the batter stick together better before baking. Will definitely be making these again
