Original Quaker Oats 1955 Oatmeal Cookie Recipe (recipe post)

[Guest guest]

While cleaning out Mom's old cookies and organizing her recipes this old recipe

fell out. I compared it to the recipe posted on the Quaker oats box now. It's

not the same and I certainly remember growing up with a much better cookie.

Here it is if anyone's interested.

 

" Original Quaker Oatmeal Cookie Recipe "

 

2 cups flour

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp baking powder

1 tsp cinnamon

1/2 tsp ground cloves

1 cup vegetable shortening

1 1/2 cups brown sugar

2 large eggs, beaten

2/3 cup sour milk (make by adding scant tablespoon lemon juice to milk)

1 1/3 cups Quaker oats

1 cup raisins

1 cup chopped nuts

 

Sift first five ingredients together. Cream shortening and sugar, add eggs and

beat until smooth. Add dry ingredients in small amounts alternatively with

milk. Stir in last three ingredients. Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie

sheets. Bake at 350 degrees until golden. Usually 8 mins.

Thank you so much for sending this. Just last week I made oatmeal

cookies from a recipe I took from the box several yrs ago, I thought it was

an " old " recipe that I loved. We really didn't like them, this is the

recipe I was looking for.
