Walnut & Raisin Cookies


"Why does everyone think doctors are so respected? Being a teacher is much more painful." -Ma

So. I'm home for the weekend. It's going grrrrreeat. Making my mother's favorite cookies to try to appease her general unhappiness with me, my future profession, and the rest of the world. She said (four times) that if she made these, she'd bake for a few more minutes until everything was crispy and brown on the top. In event, I am pretty happy with them.

Makes 12 cookies
Ingredients
1 1/8 c flour
1/4 tsp baking soda
1/8 tsp salt
1/2 c quick oats

1/4 c dark brown sugar
1/8 c white sugar

1 stick salted butter
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp vanilla extract (oops! I only added 1/4 tsp!)
1 large egg

3/4 c raisins
1/2 c walnuts

Directions
1. Preheat oven 300 deg F
2. Combine flour, soda, salt, oats, and mix well with a fork.
3. Combine butter (microwaved for 20 s if just out of the fridge), sugar, egg, extract, honey, and mix well until ready to bake.
4. Mix solids and liquids together. Add raisins, walnuts, until just blended (don't overmix).
5. Drop onto a baking sheet, and bake for 27 minutes.
