The best Oatmeal/Raisin cookie ever!

Old recipe. Handed down through the generations. The crescent shape has some religious significance but I don’t know what it is.
I DOUBLED THIS RECIPE…IT MADE A LOT!

Back in 1958 my dad befriended a Hungarian refugee couple. This is one of her recipes.
Very pretty for a ladies shower or luncheon.

I would at least double this recipe if not triple. It is very similar to a Lindsor Cookie. Don’t roll too thin, don’t roll too thick. This is kind of a harder cookie to figure out.

Very yummy. Very old recipe.

This recipe calls for Betty Crocker Cranberry-Orange bread mix. If you can’t find this try Pillsbury Cranberry Quick Bread Mix and add 1/2-1 teaspoon grated orange rind.

These are very good. I prefer using the white chocolate stripped Hershey’s Kiss. Really pretty. This from a person that does not like peanut butter cookies…I love these. You need to be really careful about them browning too much on the bottom. They will not spread out like most cookies do, but will almost stay in their original shape and they firm up as they cool.

This is the original recipe printed on the bag of chocolate chips.

Try using butter flavor Crisco.

The lady I got this recipe from used a small ice cream scoop to dip these out and place on cookie sheet…about 6 cookies on a sheet. She then sprinkled granulated sugar on them prior to baking. She used “Mexican Vanilla”…this gave the cookies a slight cinnamon flavor in my opinion so to achieve this I add 1/8 teaspoon cinnamon to my dough.

These rich cookies are best eaten warm, while the crust is crispy and the centers are gooey. They can be reheated in the microwave to soften the centers.
