I like easy fast cookies. I’ve been super busy lately, and have had my hands more than full. With the warmer season gearing up, I’m trying to get extra work done so I have more free time to play outside in the sunshine. What does that mean when it comes to cookies? I like to make them fast, and I want an easy cookie recipe.

We’ve been talking about clever ways to play with slice and bakes, but sometimes you really want to just get in the kitchen and bake. Do you ever feel that way? I just want to “feel” like I’m putting a little more effort in. Homemade from scratch always pays off…don’t you think?

Okay, so here’s a fast and easy cookie recipe you can make that won’t take you but a little time…

What you’ll need:
1 cup of sugar
2 cups of flour
3/4 cups of butter
2 cups of oatmeal (the real kind!)
1/2 a cup of raisins
3 egg whites
a pinch of baking soda
a teaspoon of cinnamon

In a bowl, combine your ingredients…now, take in mind this can’s thick, so it’s a little harder to stir. Hang in there, its totally worth it! When you’re done, drop spoonfuls onto a prepared pan and bake at 350 degrees F for 8-11 minutes. I prefer my oatmeal cookies a little more well done- so I look for a light golden color.

There you have it, easy fast oatmeal cookies!
