These are quite good and are easy to make. And remember, all of that good oat bran and oats helps balance out other ingredients that might make you cringe. Seems to me that these would be a nice alternative for those folks who eat breakfast bars. No preservatives here!
Doris's Oat Bran Cookies
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup regular sugar
2 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
1-1/2 cups rolled oats
1-1/2 cups oat bran
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1 cup raisins or chocolate chips (I use 1/2 cup each)
1/2 cup chopped nuts (I use pecans)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Beat oil, sugar, eggs, and vanilla. Add oats, oat bran, flour, salt, and soda. Stir to blend well. Add raisins, chocolate chips and nuts. Stir to blend evenly. Drop by Tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 12 to 15 minutes. The cookies should not brown much. Remove to rack for cooling.
Makes: 4 dozen
However, LLS says: Dropping from a small ice cream scoop, I ended up with about 3 dozen...I don't THINK I ate a dozen's worth of dough!
