BEST OATMEAL COOKIES 1 c. butter 1 c. granulated sugar 1/2 c. brown sugar 1 egg, beaten 1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 1 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. cinnamon 1 1/2 c. quick rolled oats 3/4 c. crushed walnuts, pecans or raisins 1 tsp. vanilla Keep butter in refrigerator until you are ready to start creaming. Cut the sticks into about 8 pieces. Keep mixer speed low. Add sugars. This method is better for most types of cookies. If butter softened too much you have to add more flour and that cuts down on the shortness or tenderness of the cookies after creaming butter and sugars. Add beaten egg. Sift together flour, baking soda and cinnamon, add to creamed mixture. Add oats, nuts and vanilla. Chill dough for 1 hour. Drop walnut-sized pieces of dough onto greased cookie sheets. Bake in preheated 350 degrees oven for 7 to 10 minutes. Yields 6 dozen. These cookies bear the relationship to ordinary oatmeal cookies that the Rolls Royce does to the bicycle.
