Have you ever wished for a way to combine your love for all thing nautical with your equally as passionate love for oatmeal? Well, hold fast!
Ingredients:
1 cup (2 sticks) margarine/butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt (not
)
2 teaspoons cinnamon
3 cups Quaker Oats (old fashioned or quick, uncooked)
1 cup raisins
Other materials:
Baking Parchment Paper
Plastic Cocktail Swords
Toothpicks/Sammich Picks
Scissors
Firstly, heat the oven to 350F/180C. Check.
Beat together margarine, brown sugar an' granulated sugar until creamy.
Add eggs an' vanilla; beat well.
Add flour, bakin' soda, cinnamon an' salt; mix well.
Stir in oats and raisins; mix well.
Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet and press thumb in middle to flatten. Mold the dough into roughly boat-like shapes. The dough will spread out as the cookies bake, but they'll hold the shape to some degree.
Bake cookies for 10-15 minutes, or until golden brown! Anchors away, mateys!
While the cookies baked, I kicked back and watched some good ol' AFN...
And chopped up a bunch of parchment paper into two sizes (small and large sails) and cut the toothpicks in half, discarding the non-pointy ended half.
15 minutes later, golden brown perfection!
Then I slid a large sail onto each of the half-toothpicks, and a small then large sail onto each plastic sword. I'm going for a galleon-esque design.
Jab 'em into place and I'm ready to sail my fleet into war! The recipe makes roughly two dozen sea-worthy vessels.
