Description

These Four-In-One Cookies are a timeless favorite, offering a soft, chewy texture with a perfectly golden crust. The base dough combines buttery shortening, sweet brown and granulated sugars, and hearty Quaker Oats for a satisfying bite. The recipe shines with its versatility: choose to add raisins, salted peanuts, semi-sweet chocolate chips, or shredded coconut to suit your mood. They bake up with a wonderful aroma that fills the kitchen, making them ideal for family gatherings, holiday gift-giving, or a cozy afternoon treat. Simple ingredients come together to create a comforting dessert that everyone loves.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350&# 194;°F (175ðC). Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper.
  2. In a large bowl, beat the soft shortening, granulated sugar, brown sugar, eggs, and vanilla together until the mixture is light and creamy.
  3. In a separate small bowl, sift together the all-purpose flour, baking soda, and salt.
  4. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture, blending well until just combined.
  5. Stir in the uncooked oats until evenly distributed throughout the dough.
  6. Drop rounded tablespoon-sized portions of dough onto the prepared cookie sheets, spacing them about 2 inches apart.
  7. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes, or until the edges are lightly golden.
  8. Allow cookies to cool on the baking sheet for 2 minutes before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.

Note

For variety, stir in one of the following ingredients along with the oats: 1 cup raisins, 1 cup chopped salted peanuts, 6 oz (1 cup) semi-sweet chocolate pieces, or 1 cup flaked or shredded coconut.

Use quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats depending on your preferred texture; old-fashioned oats will yield a chewier cookie.

Store cooled cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
