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!

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.

Happy Holidays 🙂
They look really good! I’m definitely going to have to try them!
These look so good and so simple. I love to make Amish recipes they are so simple and tasty.
I cannot imagine preparing such a big informative post! You are truly amazing!! I will check this list often – thanks so much.
Love oatmeal cookies–these look yum!
These are AMAZING!!!! I will never use another oatmeal cookie recipe. I made them yesterday for my hubby’s birthday and they are gone…each and every one of them. Everyone wanted the recipe! They really are the best oatmeal cookies I have ever tasted. They are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, have a hint of brown sugar that blends with the oats and then the powdered sugar on top gives your mouth a sweet bit with each bite…amazing…pretty sure I gained 5 lbs yesterday. Be warned to watch out you cannot eat just one!! Thank you for posting it!!
Has anyone tried using regular oatmeal? Just wonder how it will turn out.
I haven’t tried that, but the oat pieces will be bigger and the texture not as good I don’t think. Quick oats are just chopped regular oats. You can make them in a blender if you’re careful to not chop them too much so you end up with an oat flour instead of quick oats.
Usually add walnuts and raisins to my oatmeal cookies…… Will they work in this recipe?
You could try it, but these have a different texture than the usual oatmeal cookies.
Hi,
I tried these today and they came out really flat. What did I do wrong? They still tasted amazing but didn’t look like the photo. Any suggestions?
It could be that your butter was too soft.
Can you use margarine instead of butter for this Amish Oatmeal Cookies recipe?
These are so simple yet so delicious……
Hello, I would like to try this recipe. I’m uncertain about the amount of butter. I’m in Australia and a measuring cup here is 250grams, A block of butter here is 250 grams. ( 8 ounces I think) so do I use an 8 Oz block of butter?. I presume the amounts make a large batch. Thank you.
Yes, it’s 8 oz of butter. And this recipe does make quite a lot of cookies.
