Ingredients
| 1 | egg | |
| 1⁄2 | c | white sugar |
| 1⁄2 | c | brown sugar |
| 1⁄4 | lb | butter (slightly softened cut in pieces) |
| 1 | t | vanilla extract |
| 1 1⁄3 | c | all purpose flour |
| 1⁄2 | t | salt |
| 1⁄2 | t | baking soda |
| 1⁄2 | c | walnuts (or other nuts) |
| 1⁄2 | c | rolled oats (not instant) |
| 1 | c | raisins (sweet and plump or chocolate chips, or other dried fruit) |
Instructions
Pre-heat oven 350F, 177C, Gas mark 4
Pulse first 3 ingredients in processor 30 seconds. Scrape down and pulse 5 - 7 seconds more. Mix flour, salt and soda and add to processor. Pulse till mixed then add nuts and pulse a few more times. Pour processor contents into larger mixing bowl and add raisins or other dried fruit or chocolate chips. Mix till combined.
Roll out 1 inch balls of dough and space an inch and a half to two inches apart on cookie sheets. Bake about 15 minutes, or a bit more, until dough balls have flattened and edges of cookies are browned a bit. The tops of the cookies will have a slightly cracked appearance.
Let stand on cookie sheets for a few minutes after removing from oven. Cool on wire racks.
Quick, easy and yummy.
Notes
I have used half chocolate chips and half raisins. I have left out the vanilla. I plan to use dried cranberries when we get closer to autumn. I usually use bread (strong) flour. This is a very forgiving recipe
I process all ingredients in food processor except the raisins or chocolate chips if used. Those are mixed in by hand, last.
I bake on ungreased Airbake* cookie sheets. I actually get closer to 3 dozen. Very easy clean up.
*A trade name for an insulated cookie sheet with air between two layers of aluminum.
