Sharing Recipes

This thread is crying out for new life, Well.... at least kept respectfully alive in the name of damn good food! I think that any further recipes must be given "Bike" related names from now on. Such as "Elguapo's 3 Cog ring of fire chilli" (doesn't exist..Yet). So Here is my first,

Shitty Bottom Bracket Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. Mmmmmmmm!

Serves 4; Prep time: 40 minutes; Total time: 40 minutes

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled)

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon salt

1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter (room temperature)

3/4 cup packed light-brown sugar

3/4 cup granulated sugar

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

2 1/2 cups rolled oats

2 cups raisins

1 cup sweetened shredded coconut

  1.   Preheat oven to 350°. In a medium bowl, whisk together flour, baking soda, and salt; set aside.

  2.   Mix, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and vanilla, scraping down sides of bowl as needed. Add flour mixture; beat just until combined. Add oats, raisins, and coconut; beat just until combined.

  3.   Drop level 1/4-cup measures of dough, 1 1/2 inches apart, onto baking sheets.

  4.   Bake until cookies have spread and are golden brown and soft to the touch, 18 to 20 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Cool 5 minutes on sheets; transfer to a wire rack to cool completely. You can also freeze unbaked cookies and bake them later. Place unbaked cookies on baking sheet and freeze until firm, about 30 minutes. Transfer to resealable plastic bags (label and date); keep up to 6 months. Bake as many as you need (without thawing); place 1 1/2 inches apart on a baking sheet. Bake 20 to 25 minutes.
