More About This Recipe

  • A cookie with a permanent place on the roster of treats everyone should know how to make, oatmeal cookies are hearty and packed with goodness. The classic scratch version is easy to make—all it takes is three steps and ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. These oaty, chewy and perfectly (not overly!) sweet cookies are ideal as-is, but you can get creative with them, too. Try adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts in addition to, or instead of, raisins and there’ll be even more to love. Before you get started, check out Betty’s tips on how to bake the perfect cookie and everyone will ask for the recipe!
