Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    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.
  • tip 2
    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.
  • tip 3
    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.

  • A cookie with a permanent place on the roster of treats everyone should know how to make, oatmeal cookies are hearty and packed with goodness. The classic scratch version is easy to make—all it takes is three steps and ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry. These oaty, chewy and perfectly (not overly!) sweet cookies are ideal as-is, but you can get creative with them, too. Try adding chocolate chips or chopped nuts in addition to, or instead of, raisins and there’ll be even more to love.
