1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
3/4 cup Crisco
1/4 cup milk
1 egg
1 1/2 tsp vanilla
1 cup all-purpose flour
1 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/4 tsp ground nutmeg
3 cups quick cooking oats (not instant or old fashioned), uncooked
1 cup diced, peeled apples
3/4 cup raisins (optional)
3/4 cup coarsely chopped walnuts (optional)
Preheat oven to 375 F. Grease cooking sheet or line with parchment paper.
Combine brown sugar, Crisco, milk, egg and vanilla in large bowl. Beat at medium speed of electric mixer until well blended and creamy.
Combine flour, cinnamon, salt, baking soda and nutmeg. Add gradually to creamed mixture at low speed. Mix until just blended. Stir in one at a time, oats, apples, raisins and nuts with spoon. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 F for 13 minutes or until set. Cool 2 minutes on cookie sheets before moving to wire rack. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
Note: I baked the cookies at 350 F.

Hi, Canadian Baker!
ReplyDeleteIn the last few months, you may remember receiving an email invitation to become a part of the Foodbuzz Featured Publisher Program. With all the recipe-writing and food photography to be completed, we know emails can easily get lost in the shuffle, so Foodbuzz would like to re-extend our offer of inviting you to be a part of our food blogger network. I would love to send you more details about the program, so if you are interested, please email me at Shannon@foodbuzz.com.
Congratulations on your blog anniversary, and thank you for maintaining it. I really enjoy looking over your recipes and choosing some to try, as I am trying to become a quasi-respected baker myself. =)
Cheers!
