Famous Oatmeal Cookies

These Oatmeal Cookies also known as "Cowboy Cookies" are not only delicious but super easy and quick to make!
** Another great idea is putting all the ingredients into a mason jar with a decorative lid. Great for wedding favors or cowboy/ cowgirl birthday parties. 

Let's start with the ingredients.

Ingredients

• 1 cup butter, softened
• 1 cup white sugar
• 1 cup packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon baking soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 1/2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
• 3 cups quick cooking oats

First, you want to cream together the butter and sugars. Once creamed together add the eggs, vanilla, salt, cinnamon and mix again. 

Second add any raisins, nuts or chocolate chips and mix together. Plain oatmeal is just as good in my opinion.

Lastly, add the flour. Going slowly and a little at a time to minimize mess. Once mixed add the oatmeal. You may want to mix this by hand with a spoon or mixer may be more difficult.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees, drops cookie dough onto cookie sheet making four rows or more depending on the size of your pan.
Set timer for 10-12 mins or until golden brown.
Remove from oven to parchment paper and Enjoy!

These are one of my families favorites! :)
