Amish Friendship Starter Oatmeal Cookies

• Mixture 1
• 1 cup amish starter
• 2 eggs
• 1 tablespoon molasses
• 2 teaspoons vanilla
• Mixture 2
• 3/4 cup butter
• 1 cup sugar
• Mixture 3
• 2 cups flour
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 2 cups oatmeal
• 1 teaspoon nutmeg
• 3 teaspoons cinnamon
• Mixture 4
• 1 cup chocolate chips
• 1 cup raisins or 1 cup dried cranberries
• 1 cup chopped walnuts

1. Combine mixture 1 in a bowl or large glass measuring cup. Mix ingredients well with a fork.
2. Combine mixture 2 in a large bowl. I use my Kitchen Aide mixer. Beat until creamy.
3. Add mixture 1 to mixture 2.
4. Combine mixture 3 and mix thoroughly. Add mixture 3 to mixtures 1 and 2 in the large bowl.
5. Add mixture 4 to the large bowl and mix until just combined.
6. Spoon resulting dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet and bake at 375 for 10-13 minutes. It usually takes twelve minutes for me.
7. Cool on a wire rack.
