These cookies take a little time to make, but it is mostly hands off. The results are a smooth cookie with a nice chew unlike any other oatmeal raisin cookie you’ve had!
I thought for Mother’s Day it would be fun to post one of my Great-Grandma’s recipes. More of her story can be found on the post I wrote about her frozen fruit salad. She had a very interesting childhood living with her mom and grandparents after her dad passed away.
It sounds like her grandparents were quite the business people and were in to a little bit of everything! Since she had a stroke when I was very young, I don’t remember her cooking. But her recipes still live on. This is one that I have heard of her making frequently.
The recipe said it yields 9 dozen cookies and by George if I didn’t get exactly 9 dozen. To be fair, I had to work pretty hard scraping the bowl to get the last one… but I wasn’t going to come up one short!
I thought it was really interesting that this cookie has a two day prep.
Day 1: make dough, roll into balls, roll balls into sugar and put in the fridge.
Day 2 : flatten balls, bake and enjoy
Yield: 9 dozen cookies

These are fun because they have a completely different texture than most oatmeal cookies. Some people didn't even recognize them as oatmeal cookies until I told them what they are. That great-grandma of mine was on to something!

These have a different texture than any other oatmeal cookie I have ever tried. It was fun to bake from one of my great-grandma's favorite recipes.
