I give these as Christmas gifts and take them to showers. They are a hit every time. Pecans will work, too, if black walnuts aren't available. Ingredients:
1 cup margarine, softened |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1/2 cup white sugar |
2 eggs |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup raisins |
1 cup black walnuts, coarsely ground |
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon baking soda |
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice |
3 cups rolled oats |
Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Beat margarine and sugars, until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Sift and add to the egg mixture. Stir well.
3. Grind the raisins up with 1 teaspoon of sugar until they are in small pieces--not mush! Stir in oats, nuts, raisins and mix well, drop by tablespoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Cool 1 minute and remove to wire rack. When cool store in airtight container. NOTE: You can add butterscotch or chocolate pieces in place of the raisins.
