These cake-like cookies are nutritious, flavorful and firm enough to pack well in brown-bag lunches.—Doris Barb, El Dorado, Kansas
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup butter, softened
- 3/4 cup packed brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup quick-cooking oats
- 1 cup chopped dates
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
Directions
- In a bowl, cream the butter and brown sugar. Beat in eggs, milk and vanilla. Combine flour, baking powder and salt; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in oats, dates and nuts.
