Flour all over my counters and on the floor makes me a little bit crazy.
Ingredients
1 cup sugar (when I do a batch for the babies, I only use half a cup)
1/2 cup margarine (100 g, roughly)
1 egg
1/3 cup milk - I probably end up using 2/3 because the mixture always feels like it needs more
1 1/2 cup sifted flour
1 1/2 cup oats (any brand, any time - this recipe is very forgiving)
1/2 tsp bicarbonate of soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp salt
½ - ¾ cup raisins
Method
TIP - when you're mixing the dry ingredients, mix another batch or two so there's even less mess in your kitchen next time :)
* Melt the butter in the microwave with a sheet of roller towel on the top so you don't mess.
* Cream. (Beat with a hand mixer if you also don't have strong arms like me).
* Add the dry ingredients and the egg.
* Combine
* Grease your baking sheets or use baking paper like I do
* These are drop cookies. Take a teaspoon full of the dough and place on baking sheet.
* Allow for space to spread during the baking process.
* Flatten them out a little bit with the back of a teaspoon or fork and some water.
* Bake at 350 degrees/ 180 degrees for 12 - 15 minutes. I suggest that you check them so that they don't start burning around the edges like mine sometimes do.
Yields about 4 dozen.
They are DELICIOUS and I'm not sure how long they last because they're gone at my house within days.
What was the last thing you baked?
PS Happy Valentine's Day :)
I'm linking this post to all these lovely parties.
LOVE oatmeal raisin cookies! I'm not always a huge raisin fan, but I make an exception for those! :) And - in the grand scheme of cookies - I think they're sorta-kinda healthy? Oats and raisins, ya know?! ;)
ReplyDeleteWe all love these. D is also not a raisin fan. I usually make a sheet for him without, and then put raisins for the rest of us :)
ReplyDeleteI like easy..so these look like a winner.
ReplyDeleteCooooookies! Doesn't really matter what is in them, I'll love them regardless!
ReplyDeleteThose do look yummy...might have togive baking yet another "shot"!!
ReplyDeleteHope your day is going great!
:)
Oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite!!!! Yum!
ReplyDeleteMy kids are not huge raisin fans but they do love oatmeal cookies! Yours look delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteLast thing I baked was chocolate chip cookies, which were gone within an hour. Seriously.
Those look really nice! Hmmm, last thing I baked? Maybe a cake? Or maybe my grandmother's banana bread. I should give you my grandmother's chocolate balls recipe. No baking, but sooo yummy!
ReplyDeleteI like your tip of making two batches of the dry ingredients at the same time - saving the second batch for later. I spend more time gathering ingredients than baking!
