KIDS CAN MAKE: OATMEAL COOKIE SMOOTHIE
This all-in-one milk-and-cookies smoothie makes a nice change of pace for a summer breakfast or afternoon snack. For little kids: Let them help press the buttons on the blender. (Be sure to let it run for a full minute before you add the ice so the oatmeal-and-raisin mixture gets as smooth as possible.) For big kids: Let them measure the ingredients-it's the perfect time to teach them the difference between wet and dry ingredient measuring cups.

OATMEAL SCHOOL COOKIES
Comes from "Laurel's Kitchen" cookbook. I've been told I should market these. It's very versatile...I add dried cranberries and different kinds of nuts as well as substituting flax seed, (which is an excellent source of omega-3 fatty acids) for some of the wheat germ. I feel pretty good about giving these to my kids and loved ones and I hope if you make them that you'll enjoy the same feedback as I do. mmm mmm

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 375.
- Cream together the butter and sugar with electric beaters.
- Add the egg, vanilla, and salt and beat well.
- Stir flour, baking powder, wheat germ, and rolled oats together with a fork.
- Add raisins so they get rolled in flour and don't stick together.
- Blend well with other ingredients; I usually end up using my hands.
- Add a little water if necessary to hold mixture together.
- Place by tablespoonful on greased cookie sheets.
- Flatten them slightly.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes.
Tips:
- For a chewier cookie, chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- If you don't have brown sugar, you can use granulated sugar instead. Just add an extra 1/4 cup of granulated sugar.
- To make the cookies more flavorful, add in some chopped nuts, dried fruit, or chocolate chips.
- If you're short on time, you can use quick-cooking oats instead of old-fashioned oats. Just be sure to reduce the cooking time by half.
- Don't overbake the cookies! They should be golden brown on the edges but still soft in the center.
Conclusion:
These oatmeal cookies are the perfect snack or breakfast for busy college kids. They're easy to make, delicious, and packed with nutrients. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy snack, give these oatmeal cookies a try!
