OATMEAL COOKIES – The Southern Lady Cooks

These Amish Oatmeal Cookies came from an old cookbook and my family has been loving them for over 30 years.

If you are a fan of Amish recipes, you will love these Amish Caramel Dumplings! Always a treat and delicious with ice cream.

❤️WHY WE LOVE THIS RECIPE

We love the softness of this delicious oatmeal cookie. It’s also super versatile but the addition of chocolate chips is wonderful. We are a fan of old fashioned recipes and this one fits the bill. It’s great for any occasion and they keep well. Add this one to your recipe list.

🍴KEY INGREDIENTS

• Butter
• Peanut butter (I use crunchy)
• White sugar
• Brown sugar
• Eggs
• Milk
• Vanilla
• All-purpose flour
• Baking soda
• Salt
• Quick uncooked oats
• Chocolate chips

SWAPS

You can always switch our the chocolate chips to another kind, or dried cranberries, you can also add in nuts if you prefer. Raisins are always a great addition too. I haven’t tried almond butter but I think it would work.

🍽️HOW TO MAKE

These cookies are pretty simple to make and they come together pretty quickly. The longest part about cooking cookies is having to cook a few batches.

COOKING STEPS

Step 1
Beat softened butter, peanut butter and sugars together until creamy.  Blend in eggs, milk, and vanilla.  Add flour, soda, and salt to the creamed mixture.  Blend well.  

Step 2
Stir in oats and chocolate chips.  Drop by spoonfuls (I roll mine into balls  with my hands about the size of a walnut and place the ball unmashed) onto ungreased cookie sheet.  

Step 3
Bake in moderate oven 350 degrees about 15 minutes.  (I like the tops brown, so I usually turn on the broiler for about two minutes before taking out of the oven).  Makes about 3 dozen cookies.
