I need a recipe for oatmeal cookies that are soft and chewy. Thanks, Carol In WI

Use the recipe from the inside of the cover of the Quaker Oats container. They are called "Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies." DH makes them all the time (with chocolate chips instead of raisins). He doesn't cook them as long as the recipe calls for (experiment in your oven) and they come out wonderfully soft and chewy.

I find that leaving any biscuit (cookie?) out of the packet or the tin for more than 24 hours produces a soft, chewy biscuit (cookie). Bruce

The one on the label of Quaker Oats is the best I've ever found. Uese soft brown sugar and don't overbake.

Add a scosh more water to any baked goods recipe to make them moister.

I am constantly getting compliments on my "brownie recipe", which is actually the 99-cent house-brand box mix with just a little extra water. Even bringing in the box does not convince people that these came from a mix. "But they're so moist!"

In addition to what Dr. Brat posted, let me add that SOUR MILK or Buttermilk will make any cookie recipe turn out really soft! Years ago, my aunt (from the farming - dairy country of Iowa) told me about that one. This is a great use for milk that has developed "chunks" -- LOL! And NO, the cookies do not taste sour, just much softer than normal. CiaoMeow >^;;^<

Karen, do you remember, or are you way too young, that in the late 60s Duncan Hines put fantastic recipes on their mix boxes. I used to make the snazzy version for the LAVFW bake sales. I wonder if they are available anywhere now.

Ah, lumpy milk! Another childhood memory. Bruce

I remember, but I come from a family of professional bakers, so box mixes were not regular visitors to our house, so I know Mom doesn't have a big collection of recipes from the boxes.

In this climate, it would result in a hard and brittle cookie. But one can always put a slice of apple in the tin. (One should eat the apple every day and put in a fresh one.)

A bread slice will also work. You won't want to eat the bread after the cookies have absorbed the moisture, though! :)
