These won second prize at the state fair. The reason they didn't win first is because my raisins weren't "evenly distributed"! Raisins are optional -- I usually leave them out. This recipe is intended for a low altitude. For high altitude adaptation, see below.:
Oatmeal Cookies:
1 cup butter, softened (NO SUBSTITUTES!)
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract
1 tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 1/2 cups flour
3 cups rolled oats (quick variety)
1/2 cup shredded coconut
1 cup raisins (optional)
Cream butter, sugars and eggs with an electric mixer. Add vanilla, salt, soda and flour. Mix well. Fold in oats, coconut and raisins (if desired).
Drop by heaping teaspoonfuls (I usually use the medium Pampered Chef scoop) onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 10-15 minutes -- until golden on edges, but not totally browned. Let sit on pan for 1 minute and then remove to a cooling rack.
These make a chewy cookie. For a crisp cookie, bake longer.
High altitude adaptation: Change flour amount to 2 cups. Change butter to 3/4 cup. Add 1/4 cup applesauce.
Well, this isn't really a "homemade" recipe, but it is a spiced up version of a store bought cookie dough.
1 roll of Choc. Chip Cookie Dough
1 can Pecan Supreme Frosting (the frosting for German Choc Cake)
Mix 1/2 frosting into the cookie dough, roll cookie into balls and place on cookie sheet. Bake as directed on cookie dough. You may have to add a min or 2 extra time based on your oven.
These are very moist, chewy and mmmm, a wonderful suprise to a choc chip cookie, and it's sooooo simple. No one will know you didn't spend tons of time making them from scratch!!!
