Honey Raisin Oatmeal Cookies


V had  to go to the airport to pick up a relative, late one night  and since I wasn't sleepy I decided to make these yummy cookies :)
Sometimes I'm an owl and sleep doesn't come very easily when I have something on my mind.. Hence i decided to make a batch of these at 11 pm...
Oh, how wonderful the house smelt after these babies came out of the oven... Here is my recipe of this classic recipe.. ( everyone has their own recipe, so you can adjust/add/minus, any ingredient you wish to, without altering the basic recipe )

INGREDIENTS: 

  • 1/2 cup - butter or margarine, softened
  • 1/2 cup - granulated sugar
  • 1/2 cup - honey
  • 1 large - egg
  • 1 teaspoon - vanilla extract
  • 1-1/2 cups - quick cooking rolled oats
  • 1 cup - whole wheat flour
  • 1/4 teaspoon - salt
  • 1 teaspoon - ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 teaspoon - baking soda
  • 1 cup - raisins, chocolate or butterscotch chips

  • DIRECTIONS : 

    In medium bowl, beat butter with sugar until thoroughly blended. Blend in honey. Blend in egg and vanilla, mixing until smooth. In separate bowl, mix together oats, flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda; blend into honey mixture. Blend in raisins or chips. Drop dough by rounded Tablespoonfuls onto greased baking sheet. Bake at 180°C for 12 to 14 minutes until cookies are golden brown. Remove from oven and allow cookies to cool 2 to 3 minutes before removing from baking sheet. Cool completely then store in an airtight container.

    TIP

    High altitude adjustment: Increase oats to 2 cups and decrease whole wheat flour to 3/4 cup.
