These cookies came about one afternoon, wishing to make a simple cookie, quickly. Preparation does require a food processor. They're fun to make and yummy to eat. My niece, by marriage, was looking for this cookie recipe on the site, and I decided that I'd better make sure it's here! Susanina's Sandies go wonderfully with a cup of tea or dish of ice cream ... how about strawberries and cream, whipped or not... m-m-m-m.
| ¾ | cup | Flour, All Purpose, Unbleached |
| 1½ | cups | Oatmeal, Old Fashioned |
| ⅓ | cup | White SugarThis amount makes a lightly sweet cookie; for a little sweeter try a half cup, or to your taste. |
| ½ | cup | Confectioner's Sugar |
| ½ | tsp | Salt |
| ¾ | tsp | Baking Powder |
| ¼ | tsp | Baking Soda |
| 1 | tbsp | Vanilla |
| ½ | cup | Unsalted ButterSoftened |
| 2 | tbsp | Sour Cream |
| ¾ | cup | WalnutsPecans work well too. |
| 1 | Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. |
| 2 | Fit a food processor with the steel blade. |
| 3 | Measure into the processor the dry ingredients: flout, oats, cane sugar, confectioners sugar, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Process these briefly, just to combine them. |
| 4 | Place on top of the combined dry ingredients, the softened butter, sour cream, vanilla, and nuts. Process just until the dough clumps together and looks like dough. |
| 5 | Place rounded tablespoons of dough on a greased cookie sheet. With the bottom of a glass, dipped or not in sugar, flatten the rounds until they're about 1/2 " thick. |
| 6 | Bake 12 minutes. Some cracks may show and you'll note some golden color highlights on the surface of the cookies. |
| 7 | Place on cookie racks to cool. |
| 8 | I've also made these, eliminating the sour cream and adding an egg instead. That works well too. |
