Oatmeal cookies were always my son's favorite when he was small. I wanted to send him some recently, but I couldn't find the recipe. So, I got out the ingredients and made my own. My family thought they were the best I've ever made! The pecans add a real Southern touch. Ingredients:
1 cup butter, softened |
1 cup sugar |
3/4 cup packed brown sugar |
3 eggs |
1/4 cup milk |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
2-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour |
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie or apple pie spice |
2 cups quick-cooking oats |
2 cups raisins |
1-1/2 cups chopped pecans |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in the eggs, milk and vanilla. Combine the flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt and pie spice; add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in the oats, raisins and nuts; mix well.
2. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 5-6 dozen.
