All American Oatmeal and Peanut Butter Cookies

INGREDIENTS

* 1 cup Sucanat (I use raw cane sugar)
* 1 cup margarine
* 1/2 cup natural peanut butter
* Egg replacer for 3 eggs
* 1/4 cup soymilk
* 2 t real vanilla extract
* 1 cup unbleached white flour or half whole wheat and half unbleached white flour

* 3 1/2 cups quick cooking rolled oats
* 1 cup seedless raisins
* 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans

METHOD
Preheat oven to 375F/190C.

In a large mixing bowl, cream together sugar, margarine and peanut butter. Add egg replacer, soymilk and vanilla; beat well.

In a separate bowl, stir together flour, cinnamon, salt and baking soda; add to creamed mixture. Beat until just well combined. Stir in rolled oats, raisins and nuts.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto lightly greased or non-stick cookie sheets. Bake in 375 degree oven for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.

Cool slightly before removing from baking sheets.

Makes about 7 dozen cookies.

NOTES

The recipe itself tastes very delicious! I wonder, when this cookies will get baked, it will smell so sweet and wonderful. I am crazy for cheese layer which you mentioned that we can add, I guess increases the softness in the cafe. Too much mouth-watering one! Also, I like vanilla and orange/ lemon flavour, but as this is something new, gonna surely try for it.
