These oatmeal cookies made with shortening are the perfect classic cookie recipe, even if you are baking them for someone who says they don’t’ care for oatmeal cookies.

They are perfectly crisp on the outside, slightly chewy on the inside, and have just a hint of warm spice from nutmeg and cinnamon. Pair these with a tall glass of milk, and you are all set!

Follow the recipe below, making sure to read through the frequently asked questions to bake the best oatmeal crispies.

HOW DO YOU MAKE OATMEAL CRISPIES FROM SCRATCH?

  1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
  2. Using a hand mixer or stand mixer, beat shortening and sugars together until light and fluffy (about 3 minutes).
  3. Add eggs one at a time, making sure to beat well after each one is added. Add in vanilla and mix until combined.
  4. In a separate bowl, mix together oats, flour, baking soda, salt, nutmeg, and cinnamon until combined.
  5. Slowly add the oat mixture into the shortening and mix well.

HOW LONG CAN YOU KEEP HOMEMADE OATMEAL CRISPIES?

These cookies will last covered in an air-tight container or sealed Ziploc plastic bag at room temperature for 3-4 days.

To make them last a bit longer, place them in the fridge to keep for up to 5-days or freeze for up to 3-months.

CAN YOU FREEZE OATMEAL CRISPIES COOKIES?

These cookies are a great make-ahead and freeze cookie. Place cooled cookies into a sealed Ziploc plastic bag and freeze for up to 3-months.

Remove from freezer and allow to return to room temperature prior to serving.

HOW TO STORE OATMEAL CRISPIES?

Allow cookies to fully cool to room temperature, then place them either in an air-tight container or sealed Ziploc plastic bag and keep on the counter or in the fridge.

They taste equally as delicious at room temperature or right out of the fridge.
