Directions

For cookies

  1. 1

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F

  2. 2

    Cream brown sugar, butter, and shortening

  3. 3

    Add eggs, mix

  4. 4

    Add salt, cinnamon, and baking powder, mix

  5. 5

    Mix baking soda into boiling water, add to bowl and mix

  6. 6

    Gradually add flour to bowl, then oats, mix well. If you want oatmeal raisin cookies, add them in after the oats.

  7. 7

    Scoop dough in about 2TB increments onto cookie sheet covered with parchment paper.

  8. 8

    Bake for 10 minutes until cookies JUST start to look a little brown on top. Remember with cookies, you take them out of the oven when they look under cooked!

  9. 9

    Let cookies cool on pan for about 1 minute. Then carefully transfer to cooling rack. Cookies will be very soft when transferring so be careful.

  10. 10

    Let cookies cool for about 5-10 minutes on cooling rack to firm up a bit

    ENJOY!

Whoopie pies

  1. 1

    If making whoopie pies, let cookies cool completely. For smaller whoopie pies when scooping out cookie dough, scoop 1TB instead of 2TB

  2. 2

    While cookies are cooling make the filling!

  3. 3

    In a small saucepan, whisk flour and milk and heat, stirring constantly, until very thick

  4. 4

    Remove from heat and let cool to room temperature

  5. 5

    Stir in vanilla

  6. 6

    Cream butter and sugar together until light and fluffy (don't want any graininess left)

  7. 7

    Add completely cooled milk/flour/vanilla mix to butter/sugar mix and beat it into submission (if things looks separated, beat it more)

  8. 8

    Filling should resemble a whipped cream! Once it does, scoop small amounts onto cookies and press a second cookie on top

  9. 9

    Slap yo mamma (southern phrase there) and ENJOY!
