AMISH OATMEAL COOKIES
My mom used to make these when I was growing up. I grew up in central Illinois close to an Amish community and mom somehow got this recipe. The original recipe called for beating with a "rotary" beater but of course we now use our mixers and to grind the raisins and peanuts in a food grinder!!

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375.
- 2. Using your food processor, pulse raisins and peanuts until finely ground and set aside. Sift flour, baking powder, salt, nutmeg and cinnamon into a very large bowl. Cut in shortening using a pastry blender until mixture forms fine crumbs. (I have also put this in my food processer and done this.) Add ground raisin mixture, sugar and oats. Mix well.
- 3. Dissolve baking soda in buttermilk in a small bowl. Add molasses and 3 of the eggs. Beat with mixer on low until blended. Add to flour mixture, mixing well with spoon.
- 4. Drop by heaping tablespoons about 3 inches apart on GREASED baking sheets. Flatten each with a floured bottom of a drinking glass. Beat 1 egg in a bowl until blended. Brush tops of cookies with egg. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until golden brown.
