Thin Crispy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Question
I know this is a really dumb question, but I have to ask it.
I have been trying to make THIN CRISPY Oatmeal Raison cookies. I tried both recipes you have in the cookbook as well as a few I download from the internet. I keep getting thick, cakey, chewy cookies. Do you have any suggestions about another recipe, or what I can be doing wrong?

Hi Murray,
I hope that's not a dumb question, or I'm also dumb! I too have been trying to find an oatmeal cookie recipe like the one I remember making as a teenager. They were the nice crispy cookies, not the cake-like ones.
Here's two more recipes to try. They should be the crispy versions, if my memory is adept!
Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
Cream:
- 1-1/2 cups sugar
- 1-1/2 cups brown sugar
- 1-1/2 cups shortening
Add:
- 3 eggs
- 3 tsp. vanilla
- 3 Tbsp. milk
Sift dry mixture together and add to creamed mixture:
- 3 cups flour
- 1-1/2 tsp. baking soda
- 1-1/2 tsp. baking powder
- 1-1/2 tsp. salt
Stir in:
- 3 cups oats
- 1 cup chocolate chips
Bake at 350-degrees for 10 minutes on ungreased cookie sheets.
Variation: Use raisins instead of chocolate chips and add up to 1 tsp. cinnamon.
Family Favorite Oatmeal Cookies
- 2 cups shortening

- 4 eggs

- 12-oz chocolate chips

Hope you love these!!
