Oatmeal Cookies

Preheat oven to 350° and lightly butter two 11 x 17-inch baking sheets.

Sift the dry ingredients into a mixing bowl. Cream the butter and sugars together in another mixing bowl.

Stir in the milk, continuing to stir the egg, vanilla and milk until mixture is smooth.

Beat in the flour mixture a little at a time, then add the oatmeal, stirring until the mixture is well blended. Drop the batter by the spoonful onto the baking sheets, leaving space between for the cookies to expand.

Bake for 12 minutes, or until the cookies are lightly browned on top.
