Where’s the full recipe - why can I only see the ingredients?

Always check the publication for a full list of ingredients. An Eat Your Books index lists the main ingredients and does not include 'store-cupboard ingredients' (salt, pepper, oil, flour, etc.) - unless called for in significant quantity.

Notes about this recipe

  • ashallen on August 05, 2021

    The oatmeal-spice cookie base and raisins are nice, but I didn't care for their combination with the flavor and texture of the unchopped peanuts - personal preference. I kept wishing there were walnuts instead of peanuts or no nuts at all! Dough was very soft and sticky, similar to bar cookie dough. Heatter cautions that the cookies scorch easily on bottom during baking, so I used insulated cookie sheets which worked very well. Recipes says to remove cookies from oven after 20 minutes or when "semi-firm." Mine were done to my liking after 12 minutes (even though insulated cookie sheets often add a couple of minutes to baking times) and were a combination of slightly chewy and soft.
