Aggression Cookies

This recipe makes the yummiest little oatmeal cookies.  I had forgotten how much I like them, and how fun they are to make.  I got this recipe from my Mom many moons ago, and I’m not sure what the original origin of the cookies is.  I’m sure my Mom can help me out with that information.  For my baking session today, I had my helper with me from Camp Grandma.  My grandson, Evan of course.  These cookies are made to be mixed by hand.  You mix by hand to get rid of your stress and take out all of your “aggressions” on the cookies!  Here we go with the recipe.

 

Ingredients: 

  • 1c. brown sugar
  • 2 sticks margarine, softened
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 2c. quick oatmeal
  • 1c. flour

Directions:

That’s all of the ingredients, just a 5 item recipe.  This is my kind of cookie.  Now, measure and place all ingredients in a large bowl.  Get ready, get set, go and  mix up all of the ingredients with your hands.  Take out your aggressions, and stress, until formed into a big glob of dough, with all of the dry ingredients mixed in.

Spoon dough by teaspoonfuls or with your favorite cookie dough scoop onto a baking sheet.  Bake at 350 degrees on ungreased cookie sheets for 8-10 minutes. These cookies bake fairly quickly so watch them carefully while they are in the oven.  Cool and enjoy with a chilled glass of cold milk.  This recipe makes 2-3 dozen cookies.

This is a wonderful recipe for a beginning baker.  A great recipe to get your kids into the kitchen for the first time.  As you can see by the pictures Evan had lots of fun mixing and mushing the ingredients together.  And the bonus was when he was done mixing there was no spoon to lick off, just his hands.  Of course I had to take over getting the dough onto the cookie sheets to bake while Evan “cleaned” his hands off.   A wonderful afternoon of learning and making messes here in the kitchen at Camp Grandma.
