HEAVENLY CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES
Chocolate oatmeal cookies are delicious and will make your mouth water. I bet you can’t eat just one! They are made with the drop technique, which makes them even easier to make! A change from just a regular oatmeal cookie and who doesn’t like chocolate! I like anything made with oats and these will become a favorite. Chocolate oatmeal cookies are great for any holiday or just anytime you want a snack. These cookies are good with coffee or serve them to the kiddies with milk for a snack and put them in lunchboxes, too. You might like to check out my recipe for Butterscotch Cookies, too.
1/2 cup butter or margarine 1/2 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup corn syrup 1 egg 1 cup all-purpose flour 1/2 cup cocoa 1/4 teaspoon soda 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 1/4 cups uncooked quick-cooking oatmeal 1/2 cup chopped nuts (I used walnuts) 1/2 cup raisins 1/2 cup milk Cream butter or margarine. Add sugar gradually and cream until light and fluffy. Add corn syrup and egg and mix well. Combine dry ingredients; stir in oatmeal. Add nuts and raisins. Add creamed mixture and milk to dry ingredients. Drop by teaspoonfuls (I used an ice cream scoop and made bigger cookies) onto a sprayed cookie sheet. Bake in preheated 350 degree oven for 15 minutes. Yield: about 3 dozen depending on size you make the cookies. Enjoy!
