I like oatmeal cookies. These are made with whole oats that have been flattened with rollers. Do you have this product in the UK? I use the recipe on the box of oatmeal but this will do. Most recipes will have cinnamon but this one does not. I'd bake the cookies on parchment paper rather than an ungreased baking sheet.

Hi O,
Here's my recipe for Chocolate Chip cookies exactly the way that I
make them. I responded about 10 years ago to someone who was having
trouble with their cookies spreading. You may certainly make these
cookies with all butter if you wish. Being a 'Breadie' I know you
will understand why I mention measurements. ;-) Have fun!

try this, I have changed the Ambrosia Chocolate chip cookie recipe a
bit so
that they don't spread. These turn out tall and chewy.

2 1/4 cup flour(unbleached, all-purpose)
3/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter(instead of all butter, I substitute 1 tablespoon Crisco
to help -- Crisco is vegetable shortening)
keep the cookies from spreading)
1/2 cup granulated sugar
3/4 cup brown sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 extra large egg
2 cups (12 ounces) chocolate chips

Note: the flour is stirred and then spooned into the cup and then
leveled
off with a spatula. All ingredients, except the last three are
leveled with
a spatula. If you measure differently your results will be slightly
different.

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In a small mixing bowl, stir together
flour,
baking soda, baking powder and salt. Set aside. In a large mixing
bowl,
cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy Add vanilla
and egg. Beat well.
Add dry ingredients to creamed mixture. Mix well. Add chocolate
chips and
mix or stir in. Roll a heaping tablespoon of dough into a ball. Place
each
ball 2 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake in preheated
oven for
10-15 minutes. Remove from oven when cookies feel as though they have
developed a skin and don't feel too squishy. Leave cookies on the
cookie
sheet to partially cool and set(they continue cooking a little).
Remove
from cookie sheet to cooling rack. Yield: approximately 3 dozen
cookies.

One of my favorites is the flourless peanut butter cookie, very simple and
good.

I cup peanut butter

1 cup sugar

1 tsp vanilla

1 large egg

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F and place the racks in the upper and lower
third of the oven.

In a medium bowl, mix the peanut butter, sugar, vanilla and egg until well
combined and mixture becomes rather stiff. Spoon 1 tablespoon of the mixture
about 1 inch apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten the mounds with the
tines of a fork, making a crosshatch pattern on the cookies.

Bake until golden around the edges, about 10 minutes, switching the
position of the sheets halfway through baking. Transfer to racks to cool.
Repeat with the remaining dough.

This one is soooo easy. It makes crisp, tender and buttery sugar
cookies. Use colored sugar to celebrate various seasons -- orange for
Halloween, red or green for Christmas etc.

Janet's Sugar Cookies
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 cup butter
1 cup vegetable oil
2 eggs
4 cup flour + 4 Tbsp. Rounded
1 teaspoon cream of tartar
1 teaspoon soda
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs, vanilla and dry ingredients.
Drop by teaspoon on cookie sheet and flatten with glass dipped in
sugar. (dip the glass in dough the first time to grease the bottom of
the glass so that it holds the sugar)

350F 8-10 minutes

My favorite cookies are chocolate chip ones. Best recipe? I
always use the recipe on the back of the Nestles dark chocolate
chips bag. They are so much better than any commercial bought.

Also, if you like those try this cheesecake that I did a few
years ago.

I made the batch of cookies on day one.
Next day, I crumbled enough of them to make a crust.
I crumbled them and add some melted butter then
pressed into the pie dish.

Mixed up a batch of cream cheese filling to make a plain
vanilla filling. Poured into the crust then baked it.

Best cheesecake I've ever had.

I'm not much into cookies. The only ones I really like aren't American at
all. I like shortbread. The plain kind that is pretty much flour, sugar and
butter.

Well to me it is porridge oats, but the ones I use are rolled oats.

We can get whole oats that are not rolled but they are not something I have
ever used.

So rolled oats are called oatmeal. That's good news. OTOH, I can't think of a reason why rolled oats should be called oatmeal.

We have non-rolled oats here too. Typically, it's called "Irish Steel Cut Oats." It's kind of a classy, niche, product. I believe it can be made in an automatic rice cooker.

Rolled oats are rolled oats, but are often called oatmeal. Oatmeal
porridge is usually just called oatmeal. Oatmeal cookies are made with
rolled oats.

It is a marketing gimmick. It is less processed than rolled oats, but,
thanks to that classy niche, thy usually charge a lot more for steel cut
oats than they do for rolled oats. I have not bought it at the Bulk Barn
for quite a while but at one time BB had the same price for rolled oats,
quick cooking rolled oats, steel cut oats and Scottish oats. At one
time BB was charging 75 cents a pound, Zehr's across the street was
charging $1.99 for a 16 oz box of steel cut oats and McCanns steel cuts
oats were $4.99 for a 14 oz can. It was all basically the same product,
steel cut oats, but there was a heck of a price difference.

I pretty much knew all that. Well, I'm a bit sketchy on the concept of
"porridge." That sounds like the stuff they eat in kids fairy tales and
medieval peasant food.

Oh no! Where's Tony?

I'll have to pick up some. I haven't had any for years. That first bite will be wonderful. The next bowl will be pretty good. By the third bowl, I'm ready to not any for a few years. In this way we can keep the eating of foods fresh and energising.

Breakfast foods were great when I was a kid. During the 80's and 90's the cereals were changed for reduced sugar but these days sugar is back baby!

I have extensive dealings with what old folks eat. As they get older, they start to gravitate towards oatmeal i.e., the older you get the more you think that oatmeal porridge is delicious. This is an interesting phenomenon.

My age has nothing to do with opinion of oatmeal. I used to have it 3-4
times a week when I was a kid, in a rotation with VitaB, Cream of Wheat
and Red River.

Depends on who and where you get them.

Steel-cut oats are far more common in Ireland and Scotland,
and can be bought them for not that much.

AND they taste a LOT better in most dishes.

I pretty much knew all that. Well, I'm a bit sketchy on the concept of
"porridge." That sounds like the stuff they eat in kids fairy tales and
medieval peasant food.

Oh no! Where's Tony?

I'll have to pick up some. I haven't had any for years. That first bite will
be wonderful. The next bowl will be pretty good. By the third bowl, I'm
ready to not any for a few years. In this way we can keep the eating of
foods fresh and energising.

Hail yes! That stuff would plaster your teeth with a sugary paste that would stick with you for a while. Peanut Butter Crunch was my favorite. The cereal is still okay but it's lost its intense PB hit. The coating on the cereal has been watered down. OTOH, I could go for some right now.

I don't know a thing about your oatmeal eating habits. The only thing I know is that about 70% of the people over 75 will eat this for breakfast. Typically, they also eat papaya. Mostly, that happens over here because they don't really have papaya on the mainland. My guess is that there's something special about these foods that biologically compels oldsters to do this.

Sure, it's delicious if I add butter and brown sugar. More importantly,
the older I get the more fiber I need in my diet.
