INSTRUCTIONS
OPTIONAL
These cookies are so rich, I only make them once or twice a year (at the
holidays). It is a recipe I got from my Grandmother. I don't know where she
got it. Also note, I modified my Grandmother's recipe. She used 3 cups of
sugar. I've found that 1 1/2 works just fine. I suggest trying the recipe
without the optional ingredients first. I don't feel they add anything to
the recipe.
In a double boiler, combine first four ingredients. Stir until sugar is
completely dissolved and texture is smooth. While mixture is warm, combine
with oatmeal-use as much oatmeal as you can coat with the mixture. Roll
into balls and then roll in powdered sugar. Store in refrigerator and eat
cold.
Note: If you have trouble rolling the balls, allow them to cool some (in
the 'fridge is ok). Also, wetting your hands with cold water also helps.
Warning: Everytime you open the 'fridge door, you will want to eat "just
one." They can be hazardous to diabetics!
