Yummy Oatmeal Cookies!!

3/4 cup butter
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 3/4 cups all purpose flour
3 cups rolled oats (I just use Quick Oats because that's what I have around but rolled oats have better texture)

First things first! Always preheat the oven before you start, this time preheat it at 375 degrees F.

Then, take the butter (at room temperature) and both sugars and put them in a large bowl, beat them with a hand mixer until they are throughly combined. Add the eggs, one at the time, and the vanilla.

After that just add the flour, baking powder and baking soda and combine. If you do this in two batches you might find it easier to do so.

Last but not least, add the oats one cup at the time. Since this mixture is so dry, each cup of oats will be harder to add to the mix than the last, but just keep at it! You can do it!
You can also add just 2 cups of oats if you prefer, I do 3 because I like it with lots of oats in them!

Once the cookie mix is done, grab a cookie sheet and spread some butter on it and then a thin layer of flour on top. That's just the way I do it, you can do your own method here, the important bit here is to make sure the cookies won't stick to the cookie sheet.

With a 1/2 tbsp measuring spoon scoop some cookie mix from the bowl, then with your hand roll them to a ball, place it on the cookie sheet and flatten it just a bit. Keep scooping and moulding until the sheet is full, place the cookies two inches apart from each other.

It's time to put them in the oven!
Bake them for 8 to 10 minutes, until they're golden on the bottom, just lift one with a spatula to make sure. Let them cool for a bit before you take them from the cookie sheet so they won't break.

Scoop more mixture and repeat until you have bake it all! or you can freeze whatever you feel like you want to save for another day.

This recipe will be enough to make around 48 cookies on a good day!

You can also scoop the cookie mix with a tablespoon to make them bigger, with a teaspoon to make them smaller, or make them the size you prefer!

Hope you like this recipe!
