Cookie Recipe #29

Yippee! Another splendid person steps forward with a cookie recipe. Take it away, LC!
This is a recipe that I stole from my mom, who got it from a PBS holiday cooking show. They take a little bit of time to make due to the incredible stickiness encountered when chopping the dates and raisins. I tried putting them in the chopper and that just made a gooey glob, so I went back to doing it by hand. But these cookies are definitely worth it in the end. I add a tad more brandy than the recipe calls for, but you could also just leave that out if you don't want the alcohol.

Cowboy Cookies

Ingredients

2 Sticks of butter, softened
1 Cup white sugar
1 Cup brown sugar
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon vanilla
1 Tablespoon brandy

Mix these ingredients well and then add the following.

1 Cup chopped raisins
1 Cup chopped dates
2 Cups instant oatmeal
1 Cup chocolate chips
2 Cups crushed Corn Flakes
2 Cups all purpose flour, or if you use plain flour then also add 1teaspoon soda, 1teaspoon baking powder and 1teaspoon salt.

After all ingredients are thoroughly mixed, drop by rounded teaspoon full onto non-stick cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 14 minutes.

Wow those puppies would definitely take some time. Let me know if any of you attempt it! They also have a great name. Thanks again, LC!

Now back to your updates, enjoy 'em.
