Dry nuts & fruits - 1/4 cup (i used raisins & almonds)

Milk - 1 & 1/2 tbsp

Procedure

Preheat the oven at 160c for 10 mins
Take the room temperature butter in a bowl, whisk it well. Then add the sugar and cream it well with whisk.Take the flour,baking soda & cinnamon powder & mix it well. Add this flour mixture into butter&sugar.Mix it well. Add the oats ,dried nuts & fruits and  give a good mix .Add milk little by little and form a dough.Take the cookie dough in a tbspn and place it on the parchement lined baking tray.
Similarly do for all the dough and then lightly flatten the top with fingers. Bake it in the oven at 160c for 12-15 mins. Mine got ready in 12 mins.That's it tasty oatmeal cookie is ready.

Notes:

• Keep an eye on cookie after 10 mins. Remove from oven when you see the sides get darker. At that the time, the center may look soft,but it firms when it cooled,so dont tempt to bake more.
• Add more or less milk , until the dough comes together.
• If you prefer you can add 1/2 tsp of vanilla essence.
• Instead of dry fruits & nuts, you can add chocolate chips too.
• Dont try this cookie with instant oats.
