NO-BAKE CHOCOLATE OATMEAL COOKIES

Steps:

• Add the first six ingredients into a 4-quart sauce pan.
• Bring to a rolling boil and hold for 1 minute.
• Remove from heat.
• Add peanut butter into the hot mixture and stir until melted.
• Add in vanilla. (almond extract is good also, but I only use 1/2 teaspoon almond extract with 1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract).
• Mix in the dry oats until they are completely coated.
• Drop cookies by tablespoonfuls onto wax paper.
• Let cool until set.
• *Please remember that even if you do follow the recipe exactly, it doesn't always turn out just right. I've had these not set up for me or be hard and dry. But most of the time, the recipe is just right. I adjusted the sugar in the recipe by substituting 1/2 cup of white sugar for 1/2 cup brown sugar, this makes them more moist. I have also found that it makes a difference if you use quick cooking oats or old fashioned. In my experience it takes more old fashioned oats than quick cooking and I like the texture of the quick cooking better. When you make it a few hundred times like I have you learn a couple of things:) Also, Chunky peanut butter tends to make them more dry and crumbly.

GRANDMA'S OATMEAL DROP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• First, mix the following together thoroughly in a blender: shortening, eggs, sugar and molasses.
• ** I find its easier to measure the molasses when hot, so I stick the bottle in the microwave for a few seconds, and heat up my metal measuring spoon on the stove (careful).
• Second, in a separate bowl, sift together the following: flour, soda, salt and cinnammon.
• After these are sifted, slowly add them to the mixer with the ingredients from the first step.
• Mix until fairly smooth, no lumps.
• Fold in the oats and raisins.
• This is pretty tough on the mixer, so unless you have a good one, you may want to do this by hand.
• To bake, drop rounded teaspoonfuls (or whatever size cookies you want) on a lightly greased baking sheet, approx 2" apart.
• I like to press the center of the cookie down a bit, so it cooks evenly.
• Cook for approximately 8 minutes.
• Notes: The cookies should be very soft, and even look un-cooked when you take them out of the oven.
• -Don't worry, let them cool, and you'll be rewarded with an amazing, chewy, tasty cookie.
• -Of course, if you prefer hard cookies, cook approx 2 minutes longer, but I recommend the chewy version.
