HAPPY HALLOWEEN everyone!!! Enjoy this day of scaring and gorging yourselves on candy...
So, I thought there would be an easier way to sharing recipes but I guess I'll just have to type out all of the recipes. DARN!!!! So, here is the recipe for my grandmother's oatmeal raisin cookies:
1 cup seedless raisins
1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
3 beaten eggs
2 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon allspice
1/2 teaspoon cloves
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
4-6 tablespoons raisin liquid
1/2 cup chopped dates (optional)
1 cup broken pecans OR walnuts
Cook raisins in boiling water to cover 5 minutes. Drain, reserving 6 tablespoons juice. Thoroughly cream shortening and sugar; add eggs and beat until smooth. Sift flour with salt, soda, and spices; mix with oatmeal and add to creamed mixture alternating with raisin liquid. Add dates, raisins, and nuts. Drop on greased cookie sheets and bake in moderately high oven (400 degrees F) for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes 4 dozen cookies.
