ingredients
- 1 cup unbleached flour

- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 14 tablespoons unsalted butter (1 3/4 sticks at room temp)

- 2 1⁄2 cups old fashioned oats (old fashioned type no instant stuff)

directions
- Heat oven to 350°F - you will need 3 baking sheets lined with parchment paper (again the parchment keeps the cookie from burning and makes clean up faster).
- Whisk together flour, baking powder, soda and salt.
- Beat together with mixer at low speed - butter and sugar until the sugar granules are not visible. Increase speed and beat 1 minute longer, scrape sides as needed and add egg, beat another 30 seconds. Add flour mixture 1/3 at a time and incorporate well over med speed until mixture is smooth. Add oatmeal and stir into the dough using your rubber spatula.
- Divide into 24 equal portions and bake for 13 to 16 minutes placing only one cookie sheet in the oven at a time and rotating the cookie sheet half way through your cooking time -- these are the best and the thinnest cookies and very crispy.

If you are going to use raisins how much would you suggest and would you fold them into the batter or place a few on top of each unbaked cookie?

These cookies are so awesome Raven. Chewy, crispy and chocked full of goodness. I almost (glad I didn't) added raisins thinking an oatmeal cookie just had to have raisins. Perfect w/o. I love your added suggestion of using parchment. I really think that's the reason these cookies turned out as fabulous as they did. Normally I don't have sticking problems with cookies, but these came off so perfectly that I'm going to use it more often for baking. I also added cinnamon to the mix as I LOVE cinnamon. Made as a recipenap for Veg-n-Swap!~

I blended all of the ingredients together, only to realize that she neglected to add the salt! If you are going to profess yourself as a baker that can provide recipes to others, be responsible. I’m not happy at all!

Fantastic cookies! And so easy to make. The parchment paper is brilliant. I didn't change a thing other than using dark brown suger in place of light brown (what I had on hand) when I made these. I love them just the way they are. Made for Fall '09 PAC

Oh how I love oatmeal cookies, such a tastey treat! Now, I didn't have the Old Fashioned Rolled oats, I had Steel Cut oats which I used instead.. wow, now that makes for a crunchy grainy cookie!! Oh and I added a heaping tsp of cinnamon, you can't have oatmeal cookies without cinnamon! Anyway, will try with rolled oats next time to see which one I prefer, but either way, damn fine recipe! Thank you :)
