Yummmm. Fresh baked cookies hot from the oven. I have to slap my husband’s hand away or he will eat them all within minutes! What I like about this version is that I used sifted whole wheat flour from our local gristmill. I can pretend they are healthier:) and I like to add a little extra.
WHAT TO GRAB: (Modified from the Quaker Oats recipe)
2 sticks butter, softened
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt
3 cups Quaker Oats
1 cup raisins or dried cranberries
1 cup milk chocolate chips
WHAT TO DO WITH IT ALL:
*Preheat oven to 350
*Cream the butter and sugars
*Add eggs and vanilla and beat well
*Combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add to the mixture and mix.
*Stir in the oats, raisins and chocolate chips.
*Put on ungreased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes.
My Mom still bakes cookies like mad. I have memories of the house filled with the aroma of fresh-baked cookies and her hands covered with flour when I would come home from school.
QUESTION: Do you have a baking memory from your childhood?

My mother was a wonderful cookie baker, too! Oatmeal raisin are my favorite.
Oh yummy – can you send me some?
:)
My mother used to bake a lot when I was a child. My favourite cookies were her vanilla crescents. Simple, yet delicious.
oh they do look soooo good. I could go for a few of those right now.
What a great idea to make them with whole wheat flour! That makes them extra healthy doesn't it?
I love to bake and it always brings back memories of both my grandmas. One made the best pies ever, the other made cookies and Angel food cake. Yum!
These sound so good. I love making cookies from scratch – so much better than those frozen ones you just cut up! Definitely going to try this recipe :) Yummy
mmm! yummy! My sister and I carry on our favorite baking experience – we bake fruitcake every year. This is not a wimpy fruitcake – we are using a recipe that is about 125 years old =) Very fun to do! Did it with our Nana when we were kids.
I always have to take my baking goods to work with me! Jesse doesn't eat sweets, so if they get left at home…guess who eats them all!!!
The dried cranberries–inspired idea! I'm not a big fan of raisins in baked goods, except for raisin bread. Don't know why, but I love the cranberries.
Mama baked all the time, and you've brought a list of favorites to mind–grasshopper pie (it was green, a refrigerator pie), Texas sheet cake, and cracker pie. The cracker pie was made with saltines and meringue, and NOBODY was ever able to guess what was in it! (Maybe that should be my next yummy post, huh?)
Oh, and there was a home-canned peaches in toast cups with rum sauce, too. Dang. Now my sweet tooth is practically screaming at me.
Yummy, yum, yum!
Nope, my mother was not a baker, and in fact we had the same meal certain days of every week. Creative huh?
