Schrafft's Oatmeal, Raisin, and Walnut Cookies image

Number Of Ingredients 14

4 tablespoons butter (1/2 stick)
1/2 cup sugar
1 large egg
1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
2 tablespoons milk
3/4 cup oatmeal (not instant cooking)
3/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/4 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/4 teaspoon ground allspice
1/2 cup raisins
1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Steps:

Beat the butter and sugar together in a mixing bowl. Add the egg, vanilla, and milk, and beat until light and fluffy. Stir in the oatmeal. Mix the flour, baking powder and soda, salt, and spices on a piece of wax paper, then pick that up and dump the dry ingredients into your mixing bowl. Beat until well blended. Fold in the raisins and walnuts.
Drop the cookie batter by the tablespoonful onto Silpat-lined baking sheets (or just butter the baking sheets), leaving about 1 1/2 inches between mounds. Bake in a preheated 350° oven for 12 minutes. Remove the cookies, and cool on racks.
