How to Make Oatmeal Cookies

Baked Brown Sugar Oatmeal Cookies
- Oats, 2 cups
- All-purpose flour, 1 ½ cups

- Salt, ½ tsp.
Procedure
Preheat your microwave to 375 °F. In a large bowl, blend together the brown sugar, the canola oil and the egg together and whip the mixture, until you get a relatively uniform texture. Then add the oats, flour, baking powder and the salt and continue whipping the concoction mildly till everything is properly blended. Now sprinkle the chocolate bits from top and stir in just once. You can put in the salt, according to your own preferences as well. Take unlubricated cookie sheets and use a tablespoon to drop the concoction onto the sheets keeping 2 ½” gaps in between each drop. Try to make the drops fall in a manner that they spread circularly. Carefully transfer the sheets to the oven and bake for approximately 12-23 minutes until the cookies take on the brownish tinge. Turn off the oven and let the cookies stay their for a couple of minutes. Then remove and keep in the refrigerator to cool. Your kids will feast on them in no time.

- Margarine, ½ cup
- Butter, ½ cup
- Fine sugar, ½ cup
- Vanilla extract, ½ tsp.

To this add the oatmeal, flour, cinnamon and sugar, one after the other and then blend to get a uniform mixture. Cool it in the refrigerator for a while and then make balls out of the concoction. Next flatten these balls to make cookies out of them and place on a cookie sheet. Transfer the sheet to the microwave and bake for at least 14-15 minutes. Take them out immediately after the baking is done and sprinkle some fine sugar on the piping hot cookies! Mmmmm.
