Feeloi's favorite- an adaptation/simplification of a Granola Bar Bar Cookie recipe devised a few years ago. "Bar Bar" is not a typo! They're baked in a 9x13 and cut into "bars." The Granola Bar variety has diced apples, coconut, walnuts, and dates, and is softer.
These are not too sweet. The sugar should total about 1 cup, but you can vary the kind you use. More white sugar results in harder cookies; brown sugar gives you a softer consistency.
Spicy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
1/2 cup softened butter
2/3 cup white sugar
1/3 cup brown sugar
1 T. maple syrup
2 eggs
1/2 t. vanilla extract
1 c. flour
1 t. baking soda
1/2 t. salt
1 t. cinnamon
1/2 t. cloves
3 c. oats
1 generous c. raisins, soaked
Combine butter and sugars in mixer until fluffy. Add maple syrup, eggs and vanilla and mix well. Sift together flour, soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves and mix in. Mix in oats and raisins.
Use a rounded teaspoon (we use the Pampered Chef small melon baller, I think it's called) to drop balls of dough onto greased baking sheets. Bake about 15 minutes at 350ยบ F.
Makes about 5-6 dozen smallish cookies.
