Recipe Introduction

"My cookies were featured in 'the November 1990 issue of Family Circle Magazine and in Rose Leavy Buranbaum's "Christmas Cookie Book". In the last year that I had the Babbling Brook Inn (in Santa Cruz, California), over 9,000 cookies were baked for my guests. They are still being baked and served each day here at the Highland Inn.-

List of Ingredients

2 cups butter
2 cups brown sugar
2 cups white sugar
4 eggs
2 teaspoons vanilla
Grated rind and juice of 1 orange
4 cups flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons baking soda
2 cups white chocolate chips
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
3 cups raisins
3 cups chopped nuts
2 cups old-fashioned rolled oats
3 cups orange almond granola, or any good granola



Recipe

Blend butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs, vanilla, and orange rind and juice; beat until well mixed. Sift together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda.


Stir into the egg and butter mixture and mix until just blended, then add chocolate chips, raisins, nuts, oats, and granola.

When well mixed, shape into ping pong- or golf ball-size spheres and bake on an ungreased cookie sheet in a 350-degree oven for 8 to 10 minutes or until just turning brown around edges. Best when warm from the oven.

Dough keeps refrigerated or frozen.

Bake them fresh as needed.
