Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, with Grape Nuts!


Oatmeal raisin cookies are my favorite type of cookie. Yup, that's right! I like them even better than chocolate chip! This recipe is great as it includes Grape-Nuts which gives them crunch! The raisins can be switched out for chocolate chips, m&ms, or other dried fruit. Try to let the cookies cool for at least five minutes before indulging, as the cookies cool they acquire the perfect chewy, moist oatmeal raisiny flavor that will send you straight back to your childhood! Enjoy!

Grape Nut Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup sugar
1/2 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup Grape-Nuts cereal
A few handfuls raisins
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon baking powder

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in egg and vanilla.
Combine flour, oats, cereal, raisins, baking soda and baking powder.
Gradually add to creamed mixture. Roll into 3/4-in. balls.
Place 2 in. apart o ungreased baking sheets; flatten with a fork. Bake at 375 degrees F for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
Cool for 3 minutes before removing to wire racks.
Hope your day is filled with happiness!
