COFFEE WITH LIANNA: Our Favorite Family Recipe

6/7/2019

0 Comments

 
One of our favorite family recipes is oatmeal raisin cookies.
Years ago, when my children were young, I loved to bake.
When I decided to pursue writing professionally, I found
myself with less time for baking and cooking.

My husband, in good nature mind you, said to me one day,
“I guess I better start learning how to cook so we don’t starve
to death”. I laughed as he jokingly frowned. He did learn how
to cook and does it without complaint. I don’t know what I would
have done if he hadn’t shown me the support he has given
me through my writing journey. I always knew he was there to
take care of the kids and household, while I fervently worked on
learning the craft of writing.
 
Below is our oatmeal raisin cookie recipe...if you get the urge to bake.
1 package of Crisco Baking Sticks, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
½ teaspoon salt
3 cups quick oats
2 cups raisins
  1. Heat oven to 350 degrees (Makes about 3 dozen) 
  2. Beat together margarine and sugars until creamy
  3. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well
  4. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well
  5. Stir in oats and raisins; mix well
  6. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet
  7. Bake 12 – 13 minutes or until golden brown
  8. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; then remove to wire rack

​Join me for my next “Coffee with Lianna”, which will post on July 5, 2019.

Best wishes,
Lianna Hawkins
