Oatmeal cookies

I have been very preoccupied with my social and domestic obligations during the past days. I foretell that there will be a lot more; nevertheless, as much as possible, I will try to prioritize those that are essential for my growth as a person and thus, on the coming days, I will come only on parties/gatherings which I think will teach me something. I need to get back to the lab tomorrow and finish this scientific write-up I'm working on today.

Meanwhile, I will record another one of my attempts in the kitchen. Last Christmas, while I was helping out with all the cooking and baking, I realized two things: I really really love pastries and pastas! :D :D I'm currently climbing the first (steep) step into the baking world... I wish to become a virtuoso one day.

Most of the meals I prepared last Christmas were quite greasy, creamy, cheesy... I purposely baked Oatmeal cookies even though it's not seemingly one of those "Christmas recipes" because my grandmother has hypertension. At least she has something to nibble while we feast on foods that elevate LDLs.

Here's my recipe:

Grandma's Oatmeal Cookie
mix thoroughly:
2 cups butter
3 cups sugar
4 whole eggs

stir in:
1 cup sour evaporated milk



sift together and stir in:
3 1/2 sifted all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 teaspoon salt
2 teaspoons cinnamon

stir in:
4 cups rolled oats
2 cups cut up raisins.

Drop by teaspoonful on ungreased baking sheet and bake until golden brown.
Baking time: 8 to 10 minutes.
Temperature: 180-200 C.








Happy happy Christmas! XOXO
