Grandmother Libby’s Spiced Oatmeal Cookies
My great grandmother used to make these cookies for the holidays. One year I asked her for the recipe, which I am delighted to share with you. They are easy to make. You can add raisins or leave them out.

1/2 Teaspoon Vanilla Extract
2 Room Temperature Eggs
2 Tablespoons Whole Milk
2 1/2 Cups Unbleached Flour
2 Cups Old-Fashioned Oats
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Kosher Salt
1 Teaspoon Ground Cinnamon
Additional Sugar
Preheat your oven to 350 degrees. In a large-size bowl cream shortening, vanilla and brown sugar. Add eggs and milk. Mix well. In a medium-size bowl combine flour, oats, baking soda, kosher salt and cinnamon. Add to the creamed mixture. Line baking sheets with parchment paper. Drop rounded teaspoonfuls onto baking sheets about 2 inches apart. Sprinkle tops with additional sugar. Place into oven and bake for 12 to 15 minutes. Remember that all ovens heat differently. I like to remove my cookies just a tad underdone because they will continue to cook a bit when out of the oven. Remove from oven and let sit on baking sheet for 5 minutes before removing. Remove cookies and let cool on wire racks. Makes about 4 dozen.
