Amish Oatmeal Cookies

by Sacagawea on December 16, 2008

My sister-in-law shared this recipe with me. She got it from a bed and breakfast she stayed in. These cookies are soft and chewy, a little butterscotchy with sweet powdered sugar gathered in the crinkles. Yum!

Gather up your ingredients:

2 cups brown sugar
1 cup butter
2 eggs, beaten
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
3 cups quick cooking oats
1/2 tsp. salt

Cream the sugar and butter. Add beaten eggs and vanilla. Stir together the dry ingredients and then mix with the wet ingredients. Chill the dough. Form into balls and roll them in powdered sugar. Place on cookie sheet and press the balls down a bit. Bake at 375 degrees for 8 min or so. Don’t over bake them.

These must be so yummy! Did you know that if cookies contain oatmeal, they are healthy? It’s true. You can eat as many as you wish.
