The following is a recipe I have already tried out on
my mid and he and his buddies like it. God, love him and my daughter--I
think I am a frustrated chef--since they were little I have tried out
one recipe after another on them (being a single parent it was easier
to please little children than a husband!). I continue to try new dessert
recipes on him and his unsuspecting squad/company mates.
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened
1 1/4 cups firmly packed brow sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 teaspoons vanilla
1 1/2 cups self-rising flour (if you use all purpose, put in 1 tsp baking
soda and
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 1/2 cup oats (quick or old-fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup coarsely chopped walnuts
Heat oven to 375 degrees. Cream margarine/butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs, milk and vanilla until well mixed. Add flour and mix well. Stir in oats, chocolate morsels and nuts. Bake 9 - 10 minutes for a chewy cookie or 12 - 13 minutes for a crispy cookie. Cool 1 minute on a cookie sheet.

These were a hit and for me, the easiest cookies to make yet!
1 box of Cinnamon-Graham crackers
1 cup of butter (or 1/2 butter, 1/2 margerine)
1 cup brown sugar
1 cup chopped pecans
Line a 9 X 12 pan with the crackers-cinnamon side up
Melt butter in pan, add brown sugar and boil for 2 minutes.
Take off heat, add pecans and spread over crackers.
Bake in 350 degree oven for 8 minutes--cool completely and break into
pieces.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto greased cookie sheet. Bake 10 - 12 minutes or until golden brown.

Note: in my oven, baking time is exactly 12 minutes 30 seconds. These cookies travel well, if they don't disappear before I can get then into containers to send.
Enjoy!
