Farm-Style Oatmeal Cookies
These cookies were developed when most people lived on farms (or in my case, dream of a farm!) and baked large batches of cookies to feed their families. Cookies were real multi-taskers; kids loved them, they kept a long time (not in my house) and they were welcome treats in lunch boxes for school or in the fields.
In this cookie the butter and brown sugar combination gives these treats an almost caramel-like flavor. I'm sure you'll enjoy them!
The recipe says it makes 4 dozen. I always get less, because I like to make my cookies BIG. I also over bake (just by a minute or two) a few because crumbled over vanilla bean ice cream...you will think you died and went to heaven.
2 cups packed brown sugar
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 1/2 cups old-fashioned oats
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup mini chocolate chips
Heat the oven to 375. In a large bowl, mix brown sugar, butter, buttermilk, and vanilla. Stir in remaining ingredients.
Drop by spoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8-10 minutes or until golden brown. Remove
immediately from cookie sheet to wire rack; cool.
