Category: Sweets
3/4 c Margarine; softened
3/4 c Light brown sugar
1/2 c Sugar
1 lg Egg
1/2 ts Vanilla
1/4 ts Salt
3/4 c All-purpose flour
1 1/4 c Quick-cooking oats
1/2 c Chopped nuts (optional)
-- finely chopped
1/2 c Raisins, seedless (optional)
-- moist
Recipe by: Woman's Day (19xx) Preparation Time: 0:12 Cream butter and
sugars until fluffy with electric mixer. Beat in egg, vanilla and salt.
By hand, stir in flour, a 1/4 cup at a time. Stir in oats. (Add nuts and/o
raisins now.)
Crop by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart. They will spread. But if
you want them thinner still, flatten each one with a glass bottom that's
been coated in granulated sugar.
Bake at 350. About 12 minutes (not too dry!) but browned. Cool on wire
If raisins are dry, they will draw moisture from batter as they bake. So
use real fresh or plumb them with a little boiling water; drain.
