Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Walnut Craisin Cookies (guest post by Nora/Mom!)

Hello again! This post is brought to you again by my lovely mother who was kind enough to share with me! I hope you enjoy. Take it away, Mom!


Whole Wheat Chocolate Chip Walnut Craisin Cookies
1 cup butter
2/3 cup brown sugar
2/3 cup sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons good vanilla

1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
3 cups quick oats
1 cup craisins
1 cup chocolate chips (semi sweet)

Cream the sugars and butter together, then add eggs and vanilla and beat till smooth. Add dry ingredients – except for 2 cups of oatmeal.

Remove from mixer and stir in the rest of the oatmeal. It will be a stiff batter.

Plop the batter onto baking sheets.

We love using parchment paper ... And we use it over and over again. Bake about 10 min.

The Done Deal ...!

I know we talk about this all the time, but what amazing satisfaction is gained by being able to put a few ingredients into a bowl and whip up something truly wonderful! You can omit the chocolate, or use white chocolate, or use raisins instead... Go wild, all is good in Cookie World.

And here's the recipe all together for ease of use!
