Rumpledoodles

Have you ever had a Rumpledoodle?

Well, neither had I until a few years ago.

When this young lady watched a Pooh movie and decided we really needed to

try the recipe at the end which they said was Pooh's most favorite food other than Honey.

It turns out that it is one of our favorite cookies, too.

So here, is our recipe for Rumpledoodles!

1 cup rolled oats (I didn't have rolled oats yesterday when I made them and used just plain old oatmeal and they turned out just fine)

1 cup sugar

1 cup flour (I use whole wheat)

1 cup coconut

1/2 cup raisins (I used craisins this time and you couldn't tell any difference from when I use raisins, at least Margaret told people they were raisins and I didn't tell them otherwise because they don't like Craisins in their food very well)

1 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon cinnamon

2 teaspoon baking soda

Mix all of this together well in a large bowl. Then add

3 tablespoons molasses

1/2 cup oil

3 tablespoons boiling water

1 egg

beaten all together.

Mix all of the ingredients together. The mix will be dry and crumbly but that is the way it is. Don't worry.

Heat your oven to 350*. Place tablespoonfuls of dough onto a greased cookie sheet. You might have to kind of squish the mix together to get it to stay in cookie shapes on the pan.

I did anyways.

Bake them for approximately 10 minutes. Once they are set and getting a little crunchy on the edges is just about a perfect time to remove them from the oven.

Let the cookies cool on the pan for a minute and them remove.

They make an excellent accompaniment to a cup of coffee!

Let me know if your family likes them as much as mine does.
