Cookies!

Apparently the High Priests had an extremely enjoyable treat in their meeting two weeks ago.  The Gundry's were kind enough to share the "secret" recipe which is actually a recipe shared with the ward a few years ago by Fred Ball:

Great-Grandma Ball's Fabulous Cookies

1/2 c. Crisco                    1/2 tsp salt

1 stick butter                     2 tsp. vanilla

1c. sugar                             2 c. flour

1c. brown sugar                 3 c. oatmeal

2 eggs                                 1 c. chopped walnuts ( I put more)  

1 tsp. baking soda            1 c. raisins ( I put more)

1 tsp baking powder

1/2 tsp. cinnamon

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream together Crisco, butter, and sugars.  Add eggs, baking soda, baking powder, salt & vanilla.  Mix.  Add flour, oatmeal, walnuts, & raisins.  Mix all together.  Bake at 400 degrees for 7 - 8 minutes. 

Enjoy!
