MARIE'S OATMEAL COOKIES
I make these so often that now I can whip up a batch without even looking at the recipe. This is the basic template, but feel free to tweak it however you like.
2 sticks (1 cup) butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 TBS vanilla
1TBS sour cream
1 3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup steel cut oats
2 cups oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
chocolate chips or raisins as desired (if I'm doing choc., I add the whole bag 2 cups.)Heat oven to 350 F. In large bowl, beat butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla and sour cream; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, and salt; mix well. Sprinkle with lemon juice. Add oats, wheat germ, and raisins or choc chips; mix well.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store tightly covered.
