Oatmeal Raisin Cookies Recipe

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 pound (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened
1 cup light brown sugar, packed
1 cup granulated sugar
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
3 cups rolled oats (We use Quaker Quick or Old Fashioned. Do NOT use instant.)
11/2 cups raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Pre-heat oven to 350 degrees. Line two large cookie sheets with parchment paper or waxed paper.
Either by hand or with electric mixer, beat butter until creamy. Add sugars; beat until fluffy, about 3 minutes. Beat in eggs one at a time. Add vanilla.
Mix flour, salt, baking powder, and nutmeg together in medium bowl. Stir dry ingredients into butter-sugar mixture. Stir in oats, raisins and optional walnuts.
Working with generous 2 tablespoons of dough each time, roll dough into 2-inch balls. Place balls on parchment-lined cookie sheet, leaving at least 2 inches between each ball.
Bake until cookie edges turn golden brown, 22 to 25 minutes. Let cool on cooling at least 30 minutes before peeling cookie from parchment.

If you prefer a less sweet cookie, you can reduce the white sugar by one-quarter cup, but you will lose some crispness. Do not overbake these cookies. The edges should be brown, but the rest of the cookie should be very light in color. The trick to making the cookies chewy is to make them large. Smaller cookies tend to get more dried out and crisp, and therefore not as chewy.

Big Grammeys Sand Tarts
1 1/2 cups sweet butter 1/4 tsp. salt
2 cups superfine sugar 1 tsp. baking powder
1 egg plus 1 yolk 1 egg white
1 Tbsp. cream or milk Sugar and cinnamon
1/2 tsp. vanilla Blanched almonds
2 1/2 cups flour


Cream butter well. Beat in sugar, eggs, cream and vanilla. Sift together 2 cups flour with the salt and baking powder and add to creamed mixture. Add remaining flour, not to exceed 1/2 cup, just enough to make stiff dough. Force dough into small frozen orange juice cans and chill for several hours, until ready to bake. Then push dough from bottom of can and slice onto chilled board. Brush with egg white, sprinkle with cinnamon and sugar, top with blanched almond, and bake 5-8 minutes at 375 degrees.

Brown-Eyed Susans
3/4 cup butter 1/4 tsp. salt
1/2 cup sugar 1 3/4 cups sifted flour
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla 17-oz. pkg. chocolate-mint
wafers (Non Pareils)


Heat oven to 400 degrees. Cream together butter, sugar, egg, vanilla, and salt; add flour and stir. Chill about 1 hour. Shape into 3/4-inch balls (or smaller) and place 2 inches apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Flatten each by pressing a wafer into the center. Bake 8-10 minutes and remove immediately.
Makes about 4 dozen.


Chocolate Coconut Drops

2 cans moist coconut
2 squares bitter chocolate 1 14-oz. can sweetened condensed milk
Melt chocolate in milk in double boiler. Add coconut to chocolate-milk mixture. Drop by teaspoon onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 minutes at 325 degrees.

These are the easiest but BEST sugar cookies! Here is the recipe-

2 cups self-rising flour
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup margarine
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 tablespoon milk

Cream margarine; add sugar, beat until fluffy.
Add egg and vanilla, stir in flour and milk. ( You may need to add a little more milk or flour to get the best consistency to roll out).
Roll into two logs, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
When ready to bake, just slice into thin slices. Bake at 350' for 5 to 7 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned; tops will be slightly moist.
Total time is ussually about 20 minutes!
