Karen Weideman — Thu, 29 Nov 2007 16:08:03 +0000

There’s just something about the cool weather that makes me want to bake. Here’s a recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies. Enjoy!

1-1/4 cups all purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup firmly packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup butter or margarine, softened
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/4 cup milk
1 cup rolled oats
3/4 cup raisins
1/2 cup pecans or walnuts, chopped

Preheat oven to 375 degrees F. In small bowl, combine flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda; set aside. In large bowl, combine brown sugar and butter; beat until creamy. Beat in egg and vanilla until light and fluffy. Stir in milk. Add flour mixture and rolled oats separately to creamed mixture, blending well after each addition. Stir in raisins and nuts.
Drop by teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned.
Makes 4 dozen cookies. We won’t discuss the calories and fat. lol

Cinnamon Roll Recipe

I have such fond memories of my mom baking bread, making yeast rolls, wedding cakes, cinnamon rolls, and other fattening, wonderful goodies. She still makes them, but I’m not around for it.

I was glad that I stumbled across The Pioneer Woman and found Cinnamon Rolls 101. She gives you complete step by step instructions for making these mouth-watering treats. She even includes over 20 photos to walk you through the process.

Check these out. Cinnabon better watch out!
