Oatmeal Spice Cookies

Step 1

Sift flour with spices, salt and baking soda. Set aside.

Step 2

In large bowl of electric mixer, cream butter. Add vanilla and both sugars, and beat well. Add eggs and beat to mix.

Step 3

On low speed, beat in sifted dry ingredients.

Step 4

Stir in oats with spoon.

Step 5

Line two cookie sheets with aluminum foil, shiny side down. Measure out 1/4 cup of batter for each cookie and place 5 to 6 cookies on each sheet.

Step 6

Bake at 375 degrees for 12 to 15 minutes on racks that have been placed on the second and third rungs in the oven. Reverse sheets once during baking. The cookies should still be quite soft when they are done. Cool on rack before removing from sheet.
