So if you're looking for the perfect
Better-Homes-N- Gardens
cooking post, ummm . . .
this isn't it.
Unless, you're looking for a surprise,
in which case, you've found it!
Now, you may be thinking
"this looks like granola" -
and, yes it does, but . . .
no, it isn't.
Or, "hmmm, this looks like
something whole grain", and
yes, it does, but
no, it isn't . . . not totally,
anyway!
This (drum roll, please)
is a cookie recipe gone
DELICIOUSLY WRONG!!!
Yep, you read that right - sooo wrong,
and yet so yummy that I
decided to blog about it anyway!
Because it really is worth trying!
I followed the directions exactly,
except I used real butter, not margarine.
What I actually ended up with was
chocolatey-peanut buttery-oatmeal goodness!!
This can be enjoyed as a breakfast cereal,
as a topping over, oh, pretty much anything
- OR -
just with a spoon right out of the pan!
(I speak from personal experience . . . trust me on this one!)
Here is the vintage recipe -
taken from the Salina Journal, Salina, KS
(not sure what year?? 1950's or 60's probably)
Unbaked Chocolate Oatmeal Cookies
2 Cups sugar 3 Cups quick unrolled oats
1/3 Cup Cocoa 1/2 Cup walnuts, chopped
1/2 Cup margarine 1/2 Cup peanut butter
1/2 Cup milk 1 tsp. vanilla
Enjoy!
And if you make it, I would love to hear what you did with it!
