This is the book&#039;s author&#039;s great-great grandmother.<br /> === Ingredients ===<br /> * 1 c salted butter, at room temperature (do not use margarine)<br /> * 1 c sugar<br /> * 2 large eggs<br /> * 1/4 t baking soda<br /> * 1/4 c milk<br /> * 1 t vanilla extract<br /> * 1 c dried cherries, blueberries, or raisins<br /> * 2 c all-purpose flour<br /> * 2 c rolled oats (not instant)<br /> * 1/2 t grated nutmeg<br /> * 1/2 t salt<br /> <br /> === Preparation ===<br /> Preheat the oven to 350. Lightly grease two baking sheets or line with parchment paper.<br /> <br /> In a large mixing bowl, beat together the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Dissolve the baking soda in the milk, then add the vanilla. Add the milk mixture to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat well to combine.<br /> <br /> In another large mixing bowl, combine the dried cherries and flour. Toss with a fork to lightly flour the cherries. Stir in the oats, nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to combine. Add the flour mixture to the butter-sugar mixture. Beat just until combined.<br /> <br /> Drop the dough by the tablespoon 2 inches apart on the prepared baking sheets. If desired, flatten a little with your fingers; the dough will tend to hold its shape while baking.<br /> <br /> Bake the cookies, one sheet at a time, for 18-20 minutes, until the cookies are golden and set. Cool the cookies on the baking sheets for 5 minutes, then remove to wire racks to finish cooling.<br /> <br /> [[Category:Cookies]]</div>
