Trailside Oatmeal Treats

By michelew7

A yummy cookie with everything but the kitchen sink in it! I clearly remember these from my childhood when Ann Spencer used to make them for me and her son Ron when we were hanging out together.

Ingredients

• 1/2 cup butter
• 1/2 cup peanut butter (creamy or chunky)
• 1 cup sugar
• 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 teaspoon vanilla
• 2 cups sifted all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon soda
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 1/2 cups uncooked oatmeal (quick or old fashioned)
• 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
• 1/2 cup raisins

Preparation

Step 1

Beat butter, peanut butter and sugars together until creamy. Blend in eggs, milk and vanilla.

Sift together flour, soda and salt. Add to creamed mixture; blend well.

Stir in oats, chocolate chips and raisins.

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

Bake in preheated moderate oven (350 degrees) about 15 minutes. Makes 3 1/2 dozen.
