1917 War-Time Recipe: Oatmeal Cookies
War Time Cookery
Nellie C Roberts
1 cup strong coffee
1 1/2 cups brown sugar
1 cup fat
1 tbs salt
2 tbs cinnamon
1 tbs ginger
1 cup raisins
1 cupful tart apple sauce
1/2 cup orange peel
2 cups rolled oats
1 egg, well beaten
Sour milk
1 tsp soda
1 cup white flour
1 tsp baking powder.
Boil together 1 cup strong coffee, 1 1/2 cups brown sugar, 1 cup fat, 1 tablespoonful salt, 2 tablespoonsful cinnamon, 1 tablespoonful ginger, 1 cup raisins, 1 cupful tart apple sauce, 1/2 cup orange peel. When thoroughly dissolved, remove from fire, and stir in 2 cups rolled oats, and let cool. Then add the following: 1 egg, well beaten; fill up the cup with sour milk in which is dissolved 1 teaspoonful soda; add 1 cup white flour, in which is sifted 1 teaspoonful baking powder. The cookies should be stiff. Bake in moderate oven. These improve with age. Nuts may be added if desired.
Did we eat them? Yes
Would I make them again? Maybe
Notes: The batter came out a little soupy. I needed more oats. Maybe because I had to add some oats, the first few cookies had little holes from bubbles. I left the rest of the batter in the fridge overnight and made the rest of the cookies later. The second batch came out great.
