Ok, I guess one request constitutes interest, so here goes:
This is adapted from the Betty Crocker recipe (heavily modified by me, but
credit where credit is due).
c=cup
t=teaspoon
mix:
1 1/2 c flour
1 t salt
1 t baking soda
1/4 t cinnamon (more if you like)
1/4 t nutmeg (more if you like)
set aside
beat:
1/2 c butter
1/2 c shortening (butter-flavor crisco, just like Loretta Linn :)
for 30 seconds
Add to this:
1/2 c lightly packed brown sugar
and beat until fluffy
Add:
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
and beat some more
Add dry ingredients and mix well
Add:
6 packets Apple-Cinnamon oatmeal
1/4 c milk (or water)
Let the dried apple bits soak up the milk... you may have to add a little more
mix thoroughly
Shape dough into two 8-10 inch rolls, wrap with wax paper or plastic wrap and
refrigerate overnight
Cut dough into 1/4 inch slices, and place on greased cookie sheet.
Bake at 375 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes.
They came out kind of dry (a bit like a bran muffin), but they taste pretty
good, which is the important thing. :-)I thought about fishing out all the
apple pieces and rehydrating them before I put them in the dough, but I decided
it was way more work than it was worth.
If anyone has any suggestions for improving this, please let me know.

| (...) Thanks for posting this, Brian! I might give this a go tonight -- I don't care for most of the flavors, and apple-cinnamon oatmeal cookies actually sound appealing. (...) I'll let you know after I make a batch. Steve (24 years ago, 16-Feb-01, to lugnet.fun)

| Try using only 1 cup flour* instead of 1 1/2 cup (stir flour before measuring to make sure that its not packed), 8 packs oatmeal instead of 6, 1/2 teaspoon salt instead of 1 teaspoon, add 1/4 cup unsweetened apple sauce when you add the eggs, and (...) (24 years ago, 19-Feb-01, to lugnet.fun)
