Oatmeal Crisps
I just made this recipe for Oatmeal Crisps more or less.
Pros: Simple recipe. Easy to mix (I don't use an electric mixer and it was easy with a whisk and wooden spoon). Yummy
Cons: Hot baking sheets
Tips and Tricks
I didn't grind the oatmeal. Grinding 3 c. of oatmeal definitely fell into my "yeah, right, in your dreams" category. I think grinding would have made them crispier but I don't feel like I'm missing anything by not grinding.
If you use parchment paper, you can slide the paper with the cookies still on top from the cookie sheet onto the counter for cooling. Save a spoon.
I think part of why it was so easy to mix was I let the margarine get really soft.
If you need to put the batter in the fridge for later, definitely let it sit out until it is back at room temperature before trying to spoon it out.
ETA: Also, even though you flatten the dough before baking, they will still expand in the oven. Allow some room for that.
ETA2: It may just be that these are addictive. I cannot stop eating them.
