I purchased a case of maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal at the Smith's case lot sale in the misguided hope of my children eating it on cold winter mornings. So summer came and I still had a case of instant oatmeal. I decided to adapt an oatmeal cookie recipe to use my instant oatmeal packets and ended up with my favorite cookie recipe! And guess what, the kids love them too! I knew I'd get them to eat that oatmeal one way or another.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1/4 cup sugar
2 eggs
8 pouches maple and brown sugar instant oatmeal
1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 package (5.1 ounces) (1/2 cup) instant vanilla pudding mix
1 teaspoons baking soda
Directions:
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Add eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition. Combine the oats, flour, dry pudding mix and baking soda; gradually add to the cream mixture.
Roll dough into 1" balls or use small scoop, place 2 in. apart onto lightly greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 4 dozen.
