Super Duper Oatmeal Cookies Posted by Pats Cookin at recipegoldmine.com Source: Puget Sound Power and Light Co. Gazette Oct. 1983
I collect recipes from newspapers, etc. Years ago we would get a small flyer with our power bill that also included a recipe. This one is one of those. 2 cups all-purpose flour 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda 4 teaspoons cinnamon 2 cups vegetable shortening 1 cup peanut butter 4 cups granulated sugar 6 eggs, beaten 1/2 cup milk 4 teaspoons vanilla extract 2 cups raisins 1 (12 ounce) package milk chocolate or semi-sweet chocolate chips 1 cup chopped walnuts 7 cups quick-cooking oatmeal Sift or stir together flour, salt, baking soda, and cinnamon. In large mixing bowl, cream shortening and peanut butter until fluffy; add sugar gradually. Add eggs, milk, and vanilla. Beat well; add flour mixture. Stir in raisins, chocolate chips, walnuts, and oatmeal. Mix thoroughly. Drop by tablespoon onto foil or parchment paper-lined cookie sheet. Cookies will spread to about 3 1/2 inches. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10 to 15 minutes. Do not over bake; they will look soft. Leave on cookie sheet for at least 2 minutes after removing from oven. Wipe crumbs off before putting more cookies on sheet. Yield: 10-12 dozen. Enjoy. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
