Cooking . . . It's a Family Thing!

Katie made these and they are delicious! She's the "baker" in the house. Here's the recipe, just in case you get a sweet tooth! Oh, I almost forgot, prep time is about 15 minutes.


Ingredients:

• 1 cup butter, 2 sticks, at room temperature
• 1 1/4 cups firmly packed brown sugar
• 1 large egg
• 1/4 milk
• 2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 t baking soda
• 1/2 t salt
• 1/2 t ground cinnamon
• 1/4 t ground nutmeg
• 2 1/2 cups quick-cooking oats (not instant)
• 1/2 cups raisins
• Hot fudge sauce, as needed
• Marshmallow creme, as needed (recommended: Fluff)

Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease 2 or 3 baking sheets or line with parchment paper (that's what we did).

In a large bowl, beat the butter and brown sugar with an electric mixer until creamy. Add the egg and the milk and beat until combined.

In a medium bowl, combine the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the butter mixture, beating until incorporated. Stir in the oats and raisins. Form cookies by dropping 2 heaping tablespoonfuls of the batter onto the baking sheets, 6 cookies per sheet, spacing evenly. (These are supposed to be large).

Bake until the cookies are lightly browned, about 11 to 13 minutes. Let them cool for 2 minutes on the baking sheets, then transfer them to wire racks to cool completely.

Spread a small dollop of the fudge on the inside of 6 cookies (or more if you like chocolate). Spread a large dollop of the marshmallow fluff on the inside of another 6 cookies. Sandwich the cookies together and transfer to a platter.

Make sure you let the cookies get good and cool. Katie was in a hurry so the top was kinda sliding around as the inside goodness was being melted by the slightly warm cookies!
