Even easier, I had instant oatmeal in several flavors. Used 6 packs, 1 cup of self-rising flour, 3/4 cup margarine, vanilla and cinnamon, 1 egg (2 makes it too wet), dropped them right from the bowl.. 5 min prep, so easy so good!

I baked these oatmeal cookies with my Daughter (16) and they really flattened! Now, the pan we used is so black it needs to be trashed, but 'Dad' has to do that! Ha! So... could that be why they aLmost burned? My Daughter insisted we don't flatten them! (like drop ones she said!) So I let her!

This recipe is just awesome..reviewing the comments proved very helpful..
I first blended sugar and butter till fluffy and added just an egg and addons such as choco powder , vanilla , mashed banana ,and crushed almonds..also I substituted half tsp baking soda with baking powder and also added melted chocolate after second batch..also I baked half the batter in mini silicon cups which turned out very moist like muffins at 15mins and remaining batter into cookies at 12 mins...one of the best and easy recipe for oatmeal cookies..everyone in my home just love it..

It was dry as previous comments noted, I added 2 eggs and a little more flour and a tablespoon of cinnamon... Turned out great :)

Incredibly easy. Just now seeing the comments about eggs. However the BF is extremely egg intolerant (insert awful bathroom noises) never the less I added 1 cup white chocolate chips and 1 cup dried cranberries, and the cookies turned out amazing. The cookie dough is quite dry so size your cookies appropriately and about 10-12 minutes on the bake time and these are amazing. (also an easy recipe to veganize!)

So, like everyone said I added 2 eggs and a 1 tsp of vanilla. I used 1 1/4 cups of self-rising flour inside of all- purpose. The batter came out a bit sticky so I was worried, because i never made oatmeal cookies before. I put the in the oven and it took about 15-20 to cook. I suggest you add cinnamon or/and nutmeg to give it some taste. Since the I had already made them, I had sprinkled some nutmeg over the cookies( i had no more cinnamon). This is a recipe I would use again!

I just did this with my nephew and popped them into the oven. Now we are waiting 10 mins. First time either of us make oatmeal cookies. The process alone is really fun. Hope they taste good. We added cinnamon, egg and vanilla to spice it up. And we wil drizzle them with honey once done. :P
