Description

These oatmeal cookies are a great breakfast option when you need a quick grab-and-go meal--they're also perfect for a quick treat after lunch or dinner.

Ingredients

1 1/2 teaspoons shortening (such as Crisco®), or as needed
3 cups rolled oats
1 cup white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup butter, melted and cooled
2 eggs
3 tablespoons milk
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract

Directions

1 Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease 2 cookie sheets with shortening.
2 Stir oats, sugar, flour, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl until combined.
3 Place butter, eggs, milk, and vanilla in a large bowl; mix well. Add the oat mixture to the butter mixture; stir until incorporated. Roll the dough into walnut-sized balls and place 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets.
4 Bake in the preheated oven until edges are golden, about 9 minutes.
