Cher and I want to wish a big Happy Mother’s Day to all those fabulous moms out there! Last weekend on our national radio show, At Home with Cheryll & Sam, we chatted with a third generation Gillespie, my grandmother, Cathie! We shared one of our favourite family recipes, the perfect oatmeal cookie! As promised, here it is….
Sam & Cher’s Perfect Oatmeal Cookie
1 cup butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups flour
2 cups rolled oats
2 eggs
1 cup coconut
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking powder
2 tsp vanilla
Cream and beat well the butter, sugar, vanilla and eggs. Add dry ingredients and mix well. Roll the dough into balls and press down with a fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes, serve warm and gooey, and enjoy!
