We don't like to give out candy for Halloween, so I've decided to take a plate of these delicious cookies with their nutritious whole wheat flour and rolled oats to families with children in our neighborhood who know us and will feel comfortable accepting a homemade treat. I did add small M&M's instead of the chopped nuts or raisins that I would normally use. My kitchen sure smells good this morning!
Preheat Oven to 350 Degrees
Cream together in your Bosch Universal Plus Mixer:
1/2 Lb (2 sticks) of softened Butter
1 1/2 Cups firmly packed Brown Sugar
2 Eggs
1 Teaspoon Vanilla
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
Add and Mix In:
1 1/2 Cups Whole Wheat Flour (freshly ground is best)
3 Cups uncooked Rolled Oats (Quick or Old Fashioned)
1 Cup M&M's, Raisins or Chopped Nuts
Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto cookie sheet treated with non-stick spray. Bake 10 - 11 minutes until golden brown. Cool slightly before removing from cookie sheet. Makes approximately 4 dozen cookies.

Holiday Pumpkin Cookies
Thursday night is Pack Meeting for our Boy Scouts and I have been asked to bring refreshments. The boys and their brothers and sisters will be decorating pumpkins! So we're going to have Pumpkin Cookies for dessert! I'm making them today, Tuesday, and will then freeze them to take away the stress of last minute baking. If I decide to put frosting on them, I'll do that before our meeting on Thursday. I try to stay away from the extra fat and sugar, so these may not get the pretty icing on top. Bet every cookie gets eaten anyway! You can taste the fall harvest in these rich, spiced, aromatic cookies.
Pull out your Bosch Universal Plus Mixer (or older model Bosch Mixer) and add the Cookie Paddles with the metal holder. If you have not yet purchased the Cookie Paddles, which fit even the very old Bosch Universal Mixers, then cream the soft ingredients with the whisks and then switch to the Dough Hook when you add the flour.
Cream together:
1 C. Butter, softened
2 C. Brown Sugar (I use white sugar with about 2 Tablespoons of Molasses)
2 Eggs
1 Cup Cooked Pumpkin
Add in order and mix:
1/2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
2 Teaspoons Baking Soda
2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
1 Teaspoon Ginger
1 - 1/2 Teaspoon Nutmeg
1/2 Teaspoon Cloves
2 Teaspoons Vanilla
6 Cups Whole Wheat Flour (Freshly ground is best!)
Add:
1 Cup Chopped Nuts, if desired.
Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Drop by rounded teaspoon onto slightly greased cookie sheet. Flatten with the tines of a fork. Bake approximately 8 minutes. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before removing to wire cooling rack. Makes about 6 dozen. Frost, if desired, with powdered sugar frosting, or cream cheese frosting.

Soft and Chewy Gingersnaps
If using the Bosch Universal or Bosch Universal Plus mixer, be sure to use the Cookie Paddles with the Metal Holder to make your cookie dough. If you do not own the Cookie Paddles, use the whisks to cream together the first four ingredients and then switch to the Dough Hook to add the remainder of the ingredients. The Cookie Paddles will fit even the very old Bosch Mixers. You will love them! And they have a 5-year warranty! Available to purchase at www.harvesthouse.us.
Cream together:
1 1/2 C. butter, melted
1 3/4 C. Sugar
1/2 C. Molasses or Honey
3 Eggs
Add:
1 Tablespoon Ground Ginger (More if you like a stronger flavor)
1 Teaspoon Baking Soda
1 Teaspoon Sea Salt
2 Teaspoons Cinnamon
4 C. Whole Wheat Flour, freshly ground is best
If you cover and chill the dough for one hour, it will be easier to handle. I skipped this step and the cookies still turned out nice.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Roll dough into rounded teaspoon size balls, or I used a small ice cream scoop for mine. May dip top of dough in sugar, if desired. Place balls of dough, sugar side up, on slightly greased cookie sheet at least 3" apart. Bake approximately 10 minutes until lightly browned. Allow cookies to cool slightly before removing them. Makes about 5 dozen cookies. I baked and froze these cookies a few days ahead of when I needed them and they were still wonderful when thawed. Enjoy!

Whole Wheat Buttermilk Oatmeal Bread
PLACE IN BOSCH MIXER BOWL:
4 Cups Hot Milk w/2 Tbsp. Lemon Juice added
1 1/2 Cups Rolled Oats
LET ABOVE MIXTURE COOL SLIGHTLY (about 10 minutes), THEN ADD:
1/2 Cup Sugar
2 Tbsp. Yeast
1 1/2 Tsp. Sea Salt
1/2 Cup Oil (I use olive or grape seed)
5 Cups Freshly Milled Whole Wheat Flour
MIX TOGETHER UNTIL ALL INGREDIENTS ARE MOIST.
ADD 2 - 3 CUPS ADDITIONAL WHOLE WHEAT FLOUR OR UNBLEACHED BETTER FOR BREAD FLOUR. ADD ONLY ENOUGH FLOUR TO MAKE A SOFT DOUGH WHICH WIPES THE SIDES OF THE BOWL CLEAN. CONTINUE TO KNEAD FOR APPROXIMATELY 8 MINUTES ON SPEED 1 OR 2. DOUGH WILL HAVE AN ELASTIC CONSISTENCY WHEN IT HAS BEEN KNEADED LONG ENOUGH. COVER AND LET RISE UNTIL DOUBLE IN SIZE. FORM LOAVES ON A SLIGHTLY OILED SURFACE AND PLACE IN GREASED (NOT OILED) BREAD PANS. I USE A NON-STICK SPRAY. COVER AGAIN AND LET LOAVES RISE UNTIL DOUBLE IN SIZE. PLACE IN 350 DEGREE OVEN AND BAKE APPROXIMATELY 30 MINUTES OR UNTIL NICELY BROWN.
This bread is delicious, slightly sweet, and has a wonderful consistency. Great for toast, sandwiches, rolls, etc. The oatmeal is great for your heart! Enjoy!
