These classic oatmeal cookies are made with large flake oats, for lots of texture and greek yogurt for extra protein. They are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. If you are a purist you bake them as is, but if you are Team Raisin, you can add raisins; Team Chocolate Chip, you can add chocolate chips!

Classic Oatmeal Cookies

In a large bowl, cream together:

• 3/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup shortening

When the fats are creamy, beat in:

• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup white sugar

Then mix in:

• 1/4 cup plain unsweetened greek yogurt (equal to 1 egg)
• 1 tsp vanilla

Then add in dry ingredients:

• 3 cups large flake oats
• 1 and 1/2 cups flour
• 1 tsp baking powder
• 3/4 tsp baking soda
• pinch salt
• 1 tsp cinnamon

Mix until combined. Scoop out into large balls onto a parchment lined cookie pan and flatten with a fork. I use a large cookie scoop, equal to 2 and 1/2 tablespoons. These large cookies take 13-15 minutes at 350 degrees F until the bottoms are lightly golden brown. Makes 20 large cookies. If you make smaller cookies, reduce the baking time.
