Each week I host Torah and Tea in my home. A group of women gather in my home and we chit chat, sip tea and of course study the weekly Torah portion. This week we will talk about the meaning of freedom and the Mitzvah of Rosh Chodesh. Along with our Torah and our tea, I try to bake a yummy treat for all of us to share :) This week I decided to go with oatmeal-craisin cookies.
These oatmeal-craisin cookies are not your typical oatmeal cookies. These are special, gooey treats that seem to have some sort of addictive quality to them. My two kids who never touch oatmeal cookies were raving over these.
Years ago, a friend of mine by the name of Seena made these cookies for a Kiddush on Shabbos. I tasted one and I was hooked. After I got married I made sure to get this recipe so that I could make these delicious treats myself.
As much as I love these cookies, I haven't made them in a while. When I searched my computer for the recipe, I discovered that it was missing a few details, so this morning I followed the recipe as much as I could and then I made my own decisions.
I'm looking at the clock, and I see that it's almost time to open my door and get started, so here is the recipe.
Oatmeal-Craisin Cookies
3 cups old fashioned oats
1 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup oil
2 eggs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup Craisins (original flavor)
Mix oats, brown sugar and oil together. (I put on gloves and mixed with my hands.)
In a cup, mix 2 eggs with the salt and vanilla. Add the egg mixture to the oatmeal mixture. Add the Craisins.
Mix well. (I used a hand mixer for the last mixing.)
Spray a cookie sheet with Pam and drop spoonfuls of cookie mixture on to the tray.
Bake on 325 for about 20 minutes. Delish!
