• 1-1/4` cup firmly packed brown sugar
• 3/4 cup butter softened
• 1 ea egg
• 1/3 cup milk
• 1-1/2 tsp vanilla
• 3 cups quick oats uncooked
• 1 cup flour

• 1 cup walnuts coarsely chopped
• 1 cup candied orange peel

Directions:

Heat oven to 375 deg F.

Heat oven to 375 deg F. Grease cookie sheets or line with parchment paper or a silpat. If you have a stone, those
work great for cookies!

Place brown sugar, butter, egg, milk and vanilla in a large bowl. Beat at medium speed with an electric mixer until
well blended.

Combine oats, flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Add the butter mixture; beat at low speed just until blended.
Stir in walnuts and candied orange peel.

Drop dough using a small or medium cookie scoop 2″ apart onto your prepared cookie sheets or stones.

Bake one cookie sheet at a time @ 375 deg F for 10-12 minutes. DO NOT OVERCOOK. Remove the cookies when they look slightly under cooked and let them rest on the cookie sheet for 5 minutes until transferring to a cooling rack to cool completely.

Store in an air tight container to keep fresh and chewy. You can also store them in the freezer. Enjoy!
