Simple Oatmeal Cookies - Southern Baking with Collard Valley Cooks

[@dreamarichards4972]

Love oatmeal cookies too. I used to make alot of different cookies when I was a little girl. Daddy didn't care for chocolate. So when I made oatmeal cookies I would take half the batter and put raisins in them. And chocolate chips in the other half. I adored my Daddy. Mommy did too, of course.😊Mommy and I agreed to put raisins in for him. But he wouldn't complain about anything. He was our Angel and our Rock. I had very spiritual parents. Daddy was a preacher and a Railroader for 44 yrs. God is our every thing. Daddy and Mom are gone now. They were married 60 yrs. 3 yrs ago today mommy passed. I love watching you and Chris. You seem like family to me. I have watched you alot. May God bless you and your family!🙏 Love ya all. 💕

[@sarahlopez4860]

Hey, Tammy, I have learned to use parchment paper whenever I bake cookies. Works wonders!

[@connieroberts4626]

My momma always put more cinnamon in her oatmeal cookies too! I have carried on this tradition. They just need more cinnamon. 💗

[@kimhoneycutt6258]

Mother used sheets like that, I think I still have them in my basement. Now I'm going to have to check and see. I remember her taking a hot cookie sheet outside and waving it in the cold air to cool it off fast.😊

[@maryloumckown9941]

My husband loves oatmeal raisin cookies. Thank you for sharing your recipe 💕

[@sharonbowers9929]

I used to make these for my son’s baseball team. Huge success! Never brought any back home! 😃

[@lorilyons6073]

Thankyou Tammy! Now my oatmeal cookies will be good, love and blessings

[@kimhoneycutt6258]

I've heard cinnamon is good for diabetics

[@susanhopkins3324]

I like a flat crispy on the out side chewy in the middle cookie,yum.

[@ohredbrd]

If its peach cobbler Im all over it! Just wanted to thank you so very much for putting your recipes on printable format!!! I know that had to take considerable time and I just wanted you to know how much it is appreciated. Among other things you are such a considerate giving person after Jesus's own heart. Love you, God bless you and Chris, Shirley.

[@sandyrobertson2052]

I like silicone sheets for cookies, they brown real nice and never stick. Give them a try.

[@janmiles6262]

I will next time I bake cookies!! My daughter bought 3 different sizes for me years ago, I've never used them.

[@kimhoneycutt6258]

LOVE YOUR KITCHEN and how ORGANIZED YOU ARE!!❤❤❤

[@janetralph6851]

I now know why I always watch your show if I am having a bad day you and Chris make me smile plus your cooking is amazing . I wish the border between Canada and U.S would open so I can back to sams club and buy my cinnamon and garlic in those jars u love them we live 4.5nhours from great falls Montana

[@sherrywilliams409]

And don’t worry about licking your fingers since it’s just y’all. We all do it. If someone says they don’t they’re telling a fib. These cookies look delicious. I like mine crispy too. Thanks for sharing this recipe. Cinnamon is good for diabetics too. Lord I remember that Better Home and Gardens cookbook.

[@nancysmith2383]

If you eating cookies Most people aren’t worried about calories or fats. You usually eat a hand full!

[@hannahaguilar435]

Can use butter flavored shortening...it comes in sticks which is great for cookies. Can use parchment paper so they do not stick. Also, I love the recipe on the underside of the lid of the oatmeal container. They are really delicious.

[@willothewispl]

Oh I love oatmeal raisin with walnuts or pecans. Eat them all the time. My favorite cookie.

[@susans622]

Another successful Sunday baking at our home! It was funny to see my dad patiently wait for cookies to cool down 🐷😝🥰. Thank you for sharing this recipe 😊💕

[@connieroberts4626]

I have my mother in laws Better Homes cook book and then a new one my husband bought me. I use my old one most of the time too. I'm 74 so my old one is OLD! I prefer it.

[@GenerousLife]

My grandmothers Better Homes & Garden cookbook has an oatmeal cookie recipe that does not use cinnamon. My favorite of all time. My mother’s book and my book have the cinnamon recipe.

[@lisas321]

Ok I watched this & now I want to get up and make these cookies instead of sleeping to go back to work tonight.!! Yum yum and good for your cholesterol and digestion.(a little bit)😀😀

[@heidid5275]

Oooh, they look so good! Tammy, I can't express how much I love the look on your face when you taste! It's priceless. 😍

[@rebeccabrown3898]

I agree with you in regards to the cinnamon. I also use the Saigon because I can now get it locally but in past years I would order the Vietnamese cinnamon from Penzeys.

[@pattiehartmann1754]

Love Saigon cinnamon & dont knock all the vanilla you have. The price of vanilla is sky high. I used to buy butler vanilla, cant anymore... sucks. 💙💙💙

[@ritaclements3435]

I love Cinnamon. That will be an awesome addition!

[@arlenebain5678]

These are delicious! Made them last week and my husband and I can’t leave them alone, lol. Thanks for sharing!

I like to add toasted chopped pecans and dried cranberries in my oatmeal cookies

Hello from Lexington, North Carolina!❤ Mmmmm, my husband loves oatmeal (raisin) cookies😋❤😋

[@gloriacambridge6968]

Tammy ,your oatmeal cookies look delicious 😋. 👍🙏🥰

[@wd4707]

I love watching your videos. You share many recipes that my grandmother made when I was a young. Thanks for sharing them.

[@kaybutcher5719]

Tammy, you got me curious so I checked out my Better Homes and Garden cook books. I realized the older one is at least 53 years old! That means my go-to cookbook is technically an antique. We won’t discuss how much of an antique that makes me! 😱. It was a wedding shower gift I’ve worn out. The newer one shows a 1996 copyright. The oldest Oatmeal Cookie Recipe is a little different than the newer one, which is like yours. The ANTIQUE recipe, which was the very first cookie recipe listed in the Cookie Section and calls for shortening in place of butter, a teaspoon each of baking soda, baking powder, salt ,cinnamon, and nutmeg; 3 cups quick cooking oatmeal, then optional are nuts and raisins etc. (There is alternate sweet milk recipe). The oven temp is 400 degrees for 8 minutes. There is also a recipe for Oatmeal Crisps Cookies. (You mentioned liking them crisp) The 1996 cookbook was like yours. Sorry for lengthy comment. 🤐 Just thought you might be interested. Thank you for all the yummy recipe tutorials. 😋

I am a cookbook nut!

[@frankgarza5588]

[@Stephenrsm7600]

I LOVE Oatmeal cookies!!!! Thanks Tammy for reminding me of this love!!! Have you moved to your new home yet??? I hope you have an easier move than I have had!!!! I moved from South Florida to Jacksonville, FL.

[@CollardValleyCooks]

[@kathynewton9186]

I use whole wheat flour in mine vs the white flour. Trust me you will want to be close to your bathroom after about 3-4 cookies.

[@Lynn88.]

Why did you change your mixer? Does it work better then your kitchen aid? Which one do you like better?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Better for videoing. I do like it better because it is lighter and easier to move.

[@SundaysChild1966]

Oh I just made them, thank you so much for sharing your recipes with us, as some cooks don't like doing that. Anyway, I used all butter, quick oats, no cloves and 1 cup of chocolate chips, semi-sweet and they came out perfect. My almost 91 yo mum is chomping away on a couple of them, still warm, melted chocolate all over her mouth, smiling so happily. lol

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Wonderful!

[@lynnnathan1699]

[@clintnicholson5889]

What is the difference between pure vanilla extract and Mexican vanilla?

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Mexican vanilla does not say it is an extract

[@kmhealed]

You are making me want cinnamon toast! I was thinking that before you mentioned it Not to mention the oatmeal cookies I’m now wanting!

My Better Homes & Garden cook book belonged to my mother; old 3-ring binder style. It's falling apart. But, I won't buy a new phone cause her handwriting is all inside. I use it often.

[@brendamccain5848]

Love your recipes, can’t use parchment paper

[@annlee368]

Tammy why didn’t you use parchment paper. I use it with all my cookies!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Sometimes I do

[@s.douglas2191]

Your the reason I went back to cooking again,Thank you 🤗

[@sharonkirkland5930]

I have a very important question. About this recipe and many more. Why can’t we just use self rising flour instead of plain flour with the added ingredients to turn it into self rising. I’m 70 years old and have never been brave enough to ask. Thankyou in advance. Watch yall often

[@CollardValleyCooks]

You can

[@sharonkirkland5930]

@ Thankyou for telling me that !!!

[@kimlhelzy]

I have the same old cookbook, it is falling apart. Bought new one and still use old one.

[@GAPeach58]

*new one--not phone. Need to proofread. 😆 LOL

[@kaybutcher5719]

I also heard cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar.

[@patriciakayser1338]

The new cook books aren’t as good as the old ones. I bought a new Betty Crocker book because my old one was falling apart and it isn’t near as good as the older version.

[@connieroberts4626]

QUESTION: is there a reason you baked the cookies on the bottom rack? I just wondered. Which rack is better? I don't know if I ever heard that addressed by anybody. I have used both lol. 💗

[@CollardValleyCooks]

I use tbe bottom rack because it is easy to see on video

Hi Tammy! Hard to beat a good, old-fashioned oatmeal cookie! My crew makes quick work of a batch! I know you're making these plain, but if you have a chance to try it sometime, substitute chopped dried apricots for raisins. My crew also enjoyed experimenting by adding chopped almonds with the apricots. Hard to go wrong with any kind of oatmeal cookie! Thanks for another video, y'all!

[@CollardValleyCooks]

Sounds good, this only made 3 dozen so you will have to double the recipe!

[@priscillarobinson7740]

Collard Valley Cooks I've been pretty sick for almost six months with CoronaVirus but I'm back and have been craving oatmeal cookies. I knew you'd have a great recipe. Can I use butter instead of Crisco? And what is that machine you're using to mix the ingredients together in called, I could really use one of those do dads. Your measuring spoons are great too.

That newer BH&G is a different cookbook--it is Gifts from the Kitchen. I have at least 4 of the BH&G New Cookbook (funny it was even called that back in 1953!). They keep changing the recipes, though. Oatmeal Cookies used to be the 1st cookie recipe listed so it must have been the most loved. Then Chocolate Chippers got 1st spot. In 1996, Oatmeal cookies got demoted to #18. In the older books, only shortening, just brown sugar and 3 cups oatmeal were used! It also had a little buttermilk. The newest book I have must be the same as the one you like (2006),
