Oatmeal Cookies (The "Everything" Cookie, or THE Cookie)

• Ingredients:
  
  
  
  
  • 1 1/2 cups of flour（either whole wheat or all purpose is fine.  I sometimes add 1/2 cup of wheat germ or bran in addition)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp baking soda
  • 1 cup oil
  • 1 cup sugar (whatever color.  I tried two TBS of molasses and 2/3 cup of sugar.  The amount of sugar used is variable with personal taste.)
  • 3 eggs
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract and/or 1 tsp cinnamon, nutmeg to taste (This part is optional, really depends on one's personal taste)
  • 1 cup walnut/peacon/sunflower seed
  • 1 cup chocolate chip
  • ３ cups of rolled oats
  • 1 cup raisins
    

• Procedure:
  
  
  
  
  • Mix well all dry ingredients in a large bowl. 
  • In a separate large bowl, cream oil & sugar first, then beat in eggs and vanilla until light & fluffy.
  • Stir together everything.  Mix well until a consistent texture is achieved.  (We find adding dry ingredients into the wet bowl works better)
  • Drop batter by teaspoon onto ungreased baking sheets. (Using a mold is more work, but results in more uniform size.) 
  • Bake at 350 (F) for 10-12 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, let cool on rack.
