Preheat oven to 375° F.

Drop rounded tablespoonfuls of dough about 2-inches apart onto cookie sheets. Bake for 12 minutes or until just set. Do not over-bake. Cool several minutes on cookie sheet before removing.

Janet’s Tip: Have these healthy delicious cookies anytime. Just mix up several batches of dry ingredients, and store each portion individually in zipper bags. Keep in a cool dry place.

Janet’s Gift Hint: These cookies make great gifts, either baked and put into a decorative box or just the dry ingredients in a gift jar with instructions on how to finish them. To create a a decorative jar, fill it with the mixture of dry ingredients. Add a layer of plastic wrap or waxed paper then add the oatmeal, raisins and walnuts. Complete the gift with a tag that explains the recipe.
