Best cookies!!!

I have to share the recipe for these cookies with you! They are wonderful. Penny had a tray of them ready for us, hot out of the oven, when we visited them last time. She gave me the recipe and I made a batch shortly after we got home. The girls loved them. Anyway, here goes:


OATMEAL RAISIN PECAN COOKIES
(I used walnuts and they were great!)

1 C flour
1/2 tsp. Baking Soda
1/2 tsp. Salt
1/2 tsp. Cinnamon (or a tad more to taste)
2 C Rolled Oats

3/4 C Butter/Marg (soft)
1/2 C White Sugar
1/2 C Brown Sugar
1 Egg
1 Tbls. Vanilla
2 Tbls. milk or water

3/4 C Thompson or Saltana Raisins (yellow ones are best)
1/2 - 3/4 C Pecans (or Walnuts)

Sift flour, soda, salt, cinnamon together and stir in oats
In a big bowl, cream butter and sugars; add egg and vanilla

Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients alternately with the milk. Stir in raisins and nuts.

Use a scoop or spoon to place on cookie sheet (I use parchment paper on the sheet - the cookies don't burn), press down a little and sprinkle with a mixture of sugar & cinnamon for a nice subtle crunch.

Bake at 350 for 12-15 minutes. Cool on rack. ENJOY!!!
