The BEST Oatmeal Cookies

This is one of my very favorite cookies.  They are soft but with a crisp edge.  They taste great warm from the oven and even days later.  My husband loves to frost his with vanilla icing for an extra special treat.  The recipe makes 4 dozen decent sized cookies, but I am hard pressed to keep them in the house for long.

Here is the recipe -

Oatmeal Cookies
1 cup of butter softened
1 cup of sugar
1 cup of packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon of vanilla
2 cups of all purpose flour
1 teaspoon of baking soda
1 teaspoon of salt
1 1/2 teaspoons of cinnamon
3 cups quick cooking oats

1.  Heat oven to 350 degrees F.  Grease a cookie sheet.
2.  Cream the egg, butter, sugar, brown sugar, and vanilla with a mixer.
3.  Measure and stir together the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon.  Then add a little at a time to the egg mixture and continue mixing.
4.  Stir in the oats by hand.
5.  Drop by rounded tablespoons onto a greased cookie sheet.
6.  Bake for approximately 11 minutes.  Let cookies rest on the cookie sheet for 2 minutes before removing them to a wire rack to cool.
