Here's a recipe I found many years ago in an old Pillsbury Bake-Off Cookbook. These yummy cookies have a unique crispy-chewy texture and a delicious mapley flavor. My family loves them! Ingredients:
3/4 cup butter, softened |
1 cup white sugar |
1 cup brown sugar, packed |
1 tablespoon molasses |
2 teaspoons maple extract |
2 eggs |
1 3/4 cups flour |
2 teaspoons baking powder |
1 teaspoon cinnamon |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
2 cups oatmeal |
2 cups crisp rice cereal |
Directions:
1. Cream butter (a combination of half butter and half margarine works best) and sugars; add molasses, maple extract, and eggs; beat well.
2. Combine flour, baking powder, cinnamon, and salt; add to dough; stir in oatmeal and crisp rice cereal.
3. Drop heaping teaspoonfuls of dough onto greased baking sheets.
4. Bake at 350 for 8-10 minutes until light golden-brown.
5. Cool 2 minutes on baking sheets; remove cookies and cool completely on rack.
6. Store cooled cookies in sealed container to preserve their chewy texture.
