Scrambling for a thoughtful father’s day idea? Look no further. Dads, (and grandpas!) love these.
My mom came upon this ‘special oatmeal cookie’ recipe some time ago and it has been my dad’s favorite ever since. It’s quite different than your typical oatmeal cookie. It’s super light and airy but also slightly crispy around the edges. For those of you who eat cookies for breakfast (wink wink Catherine) they are made for coffee dunking.
It’s also just happens to be the perfect cookie to help erase your dad’s memory of your behavior between ages 13 – 18…no wait, 19….hmmm, let’s say 25 just to be safe.
Happy Father’s Day!
- 1 stick margarine, softened
- 1 stick butter, softened
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 cup flour
- 1 1/2 cup quick cooking oats
- dash of salt
- 1 tsp vanilla
- powdered sugar, for dusting
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix all ingredients together. Drop by the TBS onto an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten with a fork and bake for 20 minutes. Sprinkle with powdered sugar while cookie is still warm.
What an easy way to put a smile on your dad’s face!
