This morning I sent out a facebook request for friends to make a cookie recipe and tell me how many cookies it made. And you could tell me if there are any typos or really screwy instructions, too. (You will be helping me immensely in editing my cookbook!) So if that's why you're here... Thanks! (But don't forget to message me how many cookies—or leave a comment here.) ☺
MELANIE'S OATMEAL COOKIES
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
¾ cup shortening
1 egg
1 tsp. vanilla
¼ cup water
1 tsp. salt
½ tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
½ tsp. nutmeg
¼ tsp. cloves
1 cup flour
3 cups oatmeal
raisins to taste
Heat oven to 350°. In a large bowl, cream the brown sugar, white sugar, shortening, egg, vanilla and water. Add salt, baking soda, cinnamon, nutmeg and cloves until well blended. Mix in flour; add oatmeal. Fold in raisins, if desired. Drop by spoonfuls onto greased cookie sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes.

Just an Introduction
When I was a cute, little newlywed I decided I was going to make my own cookbook with all of my family recipes in it--so that "other people (like Bruce and my kids--when I have any) could make them [the family recipes] too."
That's the opening line to my printed cookbook (which is not for sale in a store near you, although that would be nice for me), which I have been working on . . . well, since I was a cute, little newlywed. My tastes have evolved a little since then, as well as my cooking skills. But my family has tried each recipe and at least two of us really like each one [I gave up on trying to find something that all ten enjoy].
Some of "my" recipes were invented by other members of my family. Some are recipes I got from my family, but they got them somewhere else; these will usually have the name of the family member I got them from. Some are from friends. I got some good recipes from magazines or the newspaper; and some have been shamelessly stolen from other cookbooks. (Although I usually don't follow recipes exactly, so with the minimal changes perhaps they actually are my recipes [hehehe!].
After posting a couple of recipes on my other blog, Loralee's Fancy, I decided it would make more sense just to have a link to my recipes. So if you want to try something new I'll try to post one or two recipes a week here; maybe you'll find something you like.
Enjoy!
