Answer 1

TOASTER OVEN SOFT OATMEAL RAISIN
COOKIES

2 1/2 cups of Quaker Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup flour
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup butter
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 cup raisins

Mix the salt, butter, vanilla, and brown sugar in a big bowl. Add the sugar, baking soda, eggs and ground cinnamon until fully mixed. Stir in the flour, mixing thoroughly. Stir in the Quaker Oats until you see no flour. Mix in the raisins.

Drop by large rounded spoonfulls onto a ungreased cookie sheets (about six per batch).

Press the cookies down to make them flat before baking.

Bake in a preheated 350°F for 20 Minutes or until brown at the top.

Ovens may vary, (I used a toaster oven) but these can be made as well in a regular oven. They will cook in less time in a regular oven so watch them (check them at the 10 minute mark).

Answer 2

Make these cookies and put them in with the hard ones.

Unbaked Cookies

Bring to a boil:
2 c. sugar
6 Tbsp. cocoa
1/2 c. milk
1/4 lb. butter (1 stick)

Add:
3 c. oatmeal
1/2 c. peanut butter
1 c. coconut

Drop from tablespoon onto cookie sheets (usually 2). No baking, just allow them to cool.

Not only are they good but any cookie in the cookie jar will become nice and soft, as if you baked them that way.

Answer 4

a million. verify your oven temperature make advantageous this is no longer too warm, oven thermometers could be gotten darn close to everywhere. 2. continually use butter in recipes, no margarine. regardless of what human beings say, butter is extra healthy. this is way costly although, yet use it in case you may. do no longer hesitate to apply in ordinary terms a sprint extra butter than the recipe demands - this is your moisture. 3. Sift your flour, probably use fairly much less flour than the recipe demands. 4. Use a minimum of great eggs, and don't be afraid to apply extra beneficial ones. 5. do no longer bake the cookies till they "look" accomplished. Bake them for 11 minutes, do away with them from the oven, and gently touch - do no longer push - the tops of a few of them. If the tops sense dryish and the comfortable touch does not destroy the cookie, they're accomplished adequate for a gentle bake. in the event that they do no longer look to be accomplished adequate, positioned them back in for 2 minutes. ordinarily, never bake cookies extra beneficial than quarter-hour. container recipes that say use 350, overlook approximately that and use 375, with all different instructions the comparable. 6. depart the cookies on the cookie sheet for 10 minutes formerly removing. No much less, not extra. 7. never be afraid to clutter with recipes. Play which incorporate your foodstuff. :)

Answer 5

I always shave off about a 1-2 mins off the baking time. Turn off the oven but keep the cookies on the warm stove for just about 30 seconds just to make sure they are set.

Enjoy!!!

Answer 6

under bake them slightly if when they are in the oven they look done then they are over done so pull them out when they are still slightly gooey then remove from sheet pan and place on a cooling rack immediately because the cookies will continue to cook on the hot sheet pan and when storing the cookies place in an air tight bowl with a piece of plain old bread on top of them this will keep them moist, fresh, and soft longer

Answer 7

Just as the edges (start) to turn brown, take them out of the oven and leave on the baking pan for a few minuets to let them finish cooking just is case the middle isn't done.

Answer 8

You make cookies and store them in a air tight container with a piece of regular sandwich bread. They will stay softer for days longer

Answer 9

Add a bit more butter and cook them at a lower temperature. Good luck!
