Ground Raisin Cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butter or margarine
- 1 2/3 cup sugar
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups oatmeal
- 2 cups flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1 cup raisins (measure then grind)
- 1 tsp vanilla
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Instructions
Mix thoroughly butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Mix in ground fruit. Combine dry ingredients except oatmeal and nuts; stir in. Add oatmeal and nuts and mix well. Form into small balls, about the size of a walnut. Put on ungreased cookie sheet and flatten with the ball of your hand. Bake 9-10 minutes at 350. Makes about six dozen. Note: Try a combination of ground raisins, ground dates, and ground craisins (dried cranberries). Also dried apricots and dried cherries. Try sunflower seeds and cashews in place of walnuts.
