- 30mins
- Ingredients:
- 11
- Yields:
-
2 dozen cookies
ingredients
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1⁄2 cup butter, softened
- 1⁄2 cup smooth peanut butter
- 1⁄3 cup milk
- 1 tablespoon vanilla
- 1 egg
- 1 1⁄2 cups whole wheat flour
- 1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats (not instant)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 cup raisins
- 4 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal or 4 cups other like cereal
directions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large mixing bowl, beat together the sugar, butter, peanut butter, milk, vanilla and egg until smooth and creamy.
- Add the flour, oats and baking soda, beating until combined.
- Stir in the raisins and the breakfast cereal (the mixture will be stiff and hard to stir; just mix until everything sticks together fairly well).
- Now comes the fun part.
- Working with about 1/3 cup (75 mL) at a time, roll dough by hand into 2 inches (5 cm) diameter balls, and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
- Make sure you pat the dough balls firmly so that they stick together, and leave at least 2 inches (5 cm) of space between them on the cookie sheet (they will expand).
- Lightly press down to flatten each ball to about 1 inches (2 cm) thickness.
- Bake for 13 to 15 minutes, or until lightly browned on the bottom.
- Let cool for 5 minutes before removing from the cookie sheet.

I am a mommy of two wonderful little boys. My oldest is "the devil" Matthew 8yrs old (Aug 98) and my "little monster" is Adam, 3yr(Aug2003). I work as a Facility Administrator, which pretty much means, anything that needs to be done "ask Vicki, she'll do it". From watering the lawn, replacing lite bulbs in the washrooms, to processing payroll and handling employee complaints. It keeps me very busy and stressed :). I'm on marriage no. 2; the first was a test run, and I was able to figure out all the icky stuff, I wouldn't want a partner to be. DH#2, is mild tempered and just caters to my every whim. Perfect!
