Steps:

• In a medium bowl, cream together butter, white sugar, and brown sugar. Beat in eggs one at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the creamed mixture. Mix in oats. Cover, and chill dough for at least one hour.

OATMEAL COOKIES #236

Steps:

• Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees.
• In large mixing bowl beat butter and brown sugar until smooth and creamy.
• Add eggs, molasses and vanilla and combine well.
• In another bowl combine oats, flour, baking powder, salt, baking soda and cinnamon, stirring to mix together.
• Add dry ingredients slowly to the butter mixture, mixing until all dry ingredients are incorporated.
• I do this using a wooden spoon because the dough becomes too thick for an electric mixer.
• Add pecans, both kinds of baking chips and dried cranberries last.
• Continue mixing by hand until all ingredients form a stiff dough.
• Measuring about a tablespoon of dough for each cookie, place on lightly greased cookie sheet.
• This cookie dough will not spread while baking so you might want to flatten each mound of dough just slightly with fingers or back of spoon.
• Bake at 375 for 8 to 10 minutes or until cookie begins to brown.
• Carefully Remove baked cookies from baking sheet as soon as they come out of the oven.
