Cookies have the power to change a difficult and depressive day into one full of excitement, happiness, and joy. Many of you, after having come to the Mission Office and experiencing our cookies, know exactly what we mean. For this month then, we thought we would share the recipe for these – that you might be the means of bringing great happiness and joy to your members and investigators as well.
Grandma’s Oatmeal Cookies
¾ cup oil 2 cups oatmeal
1 cup brown sugar ½ tsp salt
½ cup white sugar 1 tsp soda
2 eggs ½ tsp baking powder
1 tsp vanilla ½ cup sunflower seeds
2 cups flour ¾ cup chocolate chips
Cream oil, sugars, eggs, and vanilla. Add remaining ingredients and mix well. Bake 350°F for 8-10 minutes.
If you don’t have brown sugar, use all white sugar or if you have molasses, add 1 Tbs molasses to 1 cup white sugar to approximate the taste of brown sugar. You can vary the recipe by adding chopped nuts, raisins, flaked coconut, and omitting chocolate chips and sunflower seeds.
