Oat-rageous Cookies



If you like cookies with lots of stuff in them, these are the cookies for you!  There is barely enough dough to keep it all together.  Today they were for the birthday of a co-worker and friend, Apnesh.

Cream:
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar

Beat in:
1 egg
1 tablespoon water
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Combine and gradually add to the creamed mixture:
1 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt

Stir in:
1 cup quick-cooking oats
1 cup chocolate chips or raisins (I do both)
3/4 cup dried cranbetties (I use Craisins)
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
1/2 cup toffee bits

Drop by tablespoonfuls onto ungreased baking sheet.  Bake at 375 for 12 minutes, cool for a couple of minutes and move to wire rack.  They stick to the baking sheet so get them off before they're completely cool.  Next time I'm going to try using parchment.  Yield: 3 dozen small, or 2 dozen good sized.

Happy Birthday Apnesh!
