Ingredients
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 cups quick oats
- 1 cup brown sugar
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¾ teaspoon baking soda
- ½ cup butter
- ½ cup shortening
- ½ cup buttermilk or sour cream
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F, Mix dry ingredients together. Melt butter and shortening and mix with dry ingredient. Mix in milk until just combined. Don’t over-mix or oatmeal may turn to mush.
Using a cookie scoop or large spoon, drop scoops about 2 inches apart on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Flatten by pressing cookie balls down to roughly a quarter inch thick with a fork dipped in flour or just use your hand.
Bake 12 – 18 minutes until edges turn golden brown.
For a crispier cookie bake at 350°F for 20 – 25 mins or until edges brown - Be careful of your times and oven temps. First batch was fine, second batch got a tad burnt on the bottom.
