Oaty-Craisin Cookies

Mix butter, syrup, and sugar till smooth. Add eggs and vanilla. If you have restraint sift your dry ingredients together (which I never do). Otherwise, just mix them and then add them and the oats to the wet mix. Toss in nuts and dried fruit. If you don’t have one kind of dried fruit, use double of the other. My daughter likes to throw in dark chocolate chips, but that is almost too much for the cookie. It’s your cookie…you decide!

Scoop onto a lightly greased cookie tray. Bake at 350 degrees (F) until almost cooked, about 11 minutes. They will finish cooking on the hot pan for another minute when you take them out of the oven. Then, let them cool on a wire rack. Don’t let them harden on the pan, you will have a heck of a time getting them off! You have been warned!

These are a moist in the middle, crunchy on the edges kind of cookie…sigh. Now go make them! The recipe makes about 4 dozen if you use about 2 tablespoons of dough for each cookie.
