These cake-like cookies are nutritious, flavorful and firm enough to pack well in brown-bag lunches.—Doris Barb, El Dorado, Kansas
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter, softened
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
2 eggs
1/4 cup milk
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups king arthur unbleached all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup chopped dates
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions:
1. In a bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in oats, dates and nuts.
2. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 1 in. apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until edges are lightly browned and tops are firm to the touch. Cool on wire racks. Yield: about 6 dozen.
