With a mix of oats and wheat flour, Doris' oat bran cookies strike a nice balance between chewy and crunchy. Customize them with chocolate chips or raisins for added sweetness.
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1 1/2 cup rolled oats
1 1/2 cup oat bran
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (or half of each)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the oil, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla in a mixing bowl and beat well to combine. Add the oats, oat bran, flour, salt, and baking soda and mix well until the oats are incorporated.
Stir in the raisins or chocolate chips and nuts.
Using a tablespoon, drop the cookie dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet spacing them about an inch apart. Place in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 12-15 minutes or until just lightly browned.
Remove from the oven and let cool on the cookie sheet for one minute then remove to a cooling rack.
Store in an airtight container.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

These cookies are awesome!!!! I will never make plain chocolate chip cookies again! With or without the nuts they are great.

The dough is a bit "gooey", but the final result is wonderful. I bring these to Bridge games quite often and they're always a hit.
