While thinking of something to have for a late afternoon snack, Oatmeal Cookies eventually crossed my mind. I knew that I still have the ingredients and time is not a big factor because it only takes less than 30 minutes for me to enjoy one.
This cookie recipe taste just right – that’s what I like about it. It has the right amount of sweetness and you can taste the sudden explosion of the cinnamon on your fist bite. I also like the soft texture because it makes this cookie chewy and more enjoyable.
I was able to make 9 large pieces of perfect oatmeal cookies with this recipe. I scooped 1/4 cup of mixture for every cookie. If you prefer average sized cookies, try scooping a heaping tablespoon; this can yield approximately 14 to 16 pieces.
Tips in making Oatmeal Cookies
Before I wrap this up, allow me to give some pointers: It is normal for the cookies to become soft after baking – do not over bake. Simply remove the cookies from the oven and wait for a few minutes until it cools down. Place the cookie in a cooling grid or wire rack only if the texture is hard enough. Removing soft cookies from the tray might tear them apart. Lastly, having a hot cup of coffee, milk or chocolate by your side is not a bad idea.

hi sir vanjo.. i want to try this on the weekend.. just wanna ask, what kind of oats will i use?
Vanjo Merano says
You may use an oven toaster, but please take note that the recipe is in Fahrenheit. If your toaster is in Centigrade, please do the necessary conversion. It will pretty much be the same time, but I suggest that you pay close attention because most ovens (especially toasters) vary in terms of the amount of heat produced.

Hi Alotte, they are one and the same. You can definitely use cinnamon powder for this recipe.
Hope this helps.

Rossy says
Hi there!
Just letting you know that I tried the oatmeal cookies just earlier. My girls loved it!!! But u know what? I didn’t have the wax paper. Thought I had it in my pantry -freezer paper pala yun. Still, I took the risk to cook the cookies just by greasing the pan a tiny bit. It was a success- Thank God! Thanks again Vanj! Hope u could share some more cookie recipes soon!
