2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 c. flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 tsp. salt (optional)
3 c. oats
1 c. raisins

1. Preheat the oven to 350*.
2. Cream butter and sugars.
3. Add eggs and vanilla and mix well.
4. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Oreo Cookie Dessert

1 package of Oreo cookies
¼ cup of butter, melted
2 (4 oz.) boxes of French Vanilla instant pudding
1 (8 oz.) package of cream cheese, softened
1/3 cup of powdered sugar
1 (16 oz.) tub of whipped topping

1. Make pudding according to directions on package. Put in refrigerator to set.
2. Put Oreo cookies in a food processor and chop until finely crumbled. Pour crumbs in a bowl and remove 1 cup of crumbs and set aside.
3. Pour melted butter in remainder of Oreo crumbs and mix well. Line the bottom of a 9x13 dish with Oreo crumbs and butter mixture. Press firmly and place in refrigerator to set.
4. While cookie crust is setting, mix softened cream cheese with the powdered sugar. (For a quick softening, place in microwave for 45 seconds.)
5. Add cream cheese and powdered sugar mixture to the pudding. (It may be a bit lumpy if the cream cheese wasn’t soft enough, but that’s okay.)
6. Fold whipped topping into mixture. Pour this final mixture over the Oreo crust.
7. Sprinkle the crumbs which had been set aside OVER the final mixture.
8. Place back into refrigerator until ready to serve.

Notes: Have been told it tastes better if it has set for at least 12 hours, but have served it as quickly as 1 hour with no complaints. This recipe can also be stretched to fill a 9x9 as well as a 9x13. Simply make a thinner crust and pour less pudding on top—it tastes just as good!

Cake cookies

1 cake mix (choose your favorite--I like funfetti)
2 eggs
1/3 c. oil
1 can frosting

1. Preheat oven to 375*
2. Combine cake mix, eggs, and oil. Stir until thoroughly moistened.
3. Form 1" balls and place 1 1/2 in. apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. Bake 6-8 minutes.
5. Top with frosting and serve. Yum!

*This recipe is ridiculously simple but is one of my favorites.

Lemon Cookies with Lemon Glaze

3/4 C shortening
1 C. sugar
3 eggs
2 small packages instant lemon pudding
2 C flour
3/4 teaspoon soda
1/4 teaspoon salt

Cream shortening and sugar. Add eggs and beat. Add pudding (dry mix) and dry ingredients. Mix well. Roll into balls. Don't make big balls because they won't cook all the way through. Bake 375 degrees for 8-10 minutes. When pulled out of the oven, they should be soft, slightly craked on the top, and have a touch of golden brown.

Glaze:
1 1/2 tablespoon milk
1 1/4 C powdered sugar
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon grated lemon

Melt butter with milk in a pan over a low setting. Take off heat and stir in powdered sugar. Wisk until smooth. Add lemon juice and rind. Wisk. Frost cookies while cookies are still warm. (You might want to do this on waxed paper because the frosting has a tendency to get everywhere and waxed paper makes for easier clean up.)

This is Sister Lewis' recipe (she is the Stake RS President). They are the most amazing Lemon Cookies I have ever tasted!
