  • Prep 30 min
  • Total 40 min
  • Servings 36

Ingredients

  • 2/3 cup granulated sugar
  • 2/3 cup packed brown sugar
  • 1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup shortening
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 2 eggs
  • 3 cups quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats
  • 1 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup raisins, chopped nuts or semisweet chocolate chips, if desired

Steps

  • 1
    Heat oven to 375°F. In large bowl, beat all ingredients except oats, flour and raisins with electric mixer on medium speed, or mix with spoon. Stir in oats, flour and raisins.
  • 2
    On ungreased cookie sheet, drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls about 2 inches apart.
  • 3
    Bake 9 to 11 minutes or until light brown. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to cooling rack.

  • Quick-cooking and old-fashioned rolled oats are interchangeable unless recipes call for a specific type. Instant oatmeal products are not the same as quick-cooking or old-fashioned oats and should not be used for baking—you will get gummy or mushy results.
  • For 3 grams of fat and 95 calories per serving, substitute unsweetened applesauce for the shortening and 1/2 cup fat-free cholesterol-free egg product for the eggs. Increase cinnamon and vanilla to 1 1/2 teaspoons each.
  • Press dough in ungreased 13x9-inch pan. Bake 15 to 20 minutes or until light brown. Cool in pan on cooling rack. For 36 bars, cut into 6 rows by 6 rows.
