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
rack. Yield: 3-4 dozen
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.
