Here's another cookie recipe that's mostly made from ingredients found at the Dollar Store. They're delicious and won't last long...
Add the sugar,
And the eggs,
And blend.
Add the flour and oats, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and vanilla,
And the raisins as well and mix them together.
Put the cookies on the cookie sheet, a teaspoon at a time (you may have to form the dough with your fingers),
And bake them for 8 to 10 minutes.
Use a spatula and put the cookies on racks to cool. Yum.
Equipment found at the Dollar Store:
Cookie sheets
Cooling racks
Measuring spoons
Measuring cups
Teaspoons
Spatulas (metal and plastic or nylon)
Variations:
Consider buying the flour and oatmeal in bulk. Stores like Downeast Food Distributors sell flour, sugar (brown and white), and rolled oats for reasonable prices--far more inexpensively than buying bulk at a grocery store. Another option is joining a local food co-op like The Good Food Co-op where you can either buy a whole 25 pound (or more) bag of flour, sugar, oatmeal, raisins, etc by yourself or split them with others. The benefit of the co-ops like the Good Food Co-op is that you are also able to buy products not only from companies like Associated Buyers, Frontier Natural Products, and Maine companies like Crown O' Maine Organic Cooperative, but local creators such as From the Family Farm, Cake and Candy Creations, and Valley View Farm.
