These cookies are very different - but well worth trying because they are SO delicious!

These need to be chilled overnight before baking. It's good to make the candied peel the day before as well.

Lemon Cornmeal Wafers
-----------------------

1 1/2 c flour
1 1/4 c sugar
1 c yellow cornmeal
1 c softened butter
2 large egg yolks
1 t grated lemon peel

Combine flour and cornmeal. In another bowl, beat butter and sugar til fluffy. Add egg yolks and lemon peel, beat in dry ingredients and mix well.
Divide into half, and shape into 10" logs. Wrap in wax paper and chill overnight.
Preheat oven at 350 degrees. Slice logs into 1/4 inch slices. Bake on ungreased cookie sheet 10 to 12 minutes until firm.

Glaze
-----
Stir 3 t lemon juice into 1 c icing sugar. Add more juice if needed.

Candied Lemon Peel
-------------------
Remove peel from lemon and cut thinly into about 1 1/2 inch strips.
In pan, combine 1/4 c sugar and 1/4 c water. Bring to boil til sugar is dissolved, add peel and cook five minutes.
Remove peel onto paper towel, cool. Then toss peel with 1/4 cup sugar.

After glazing cookies, put a few pieces of candied peel on each.

Note: I also tried using mandarin orange peel, it worked well.

They look very much like the below pic, just with candied peel added on top.

Cowboy Cookies
---------------

1 cup margarine
1 cup white sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 t vanilla
2 c rolled oats
1 1/2 c flour
1 t baking soda
1/2 t baking powder
1/2 t salt

1 cup chocolate chips
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
(can add 1/4 cup coconut)

Cream together shortening and sugar. Add eggs and beat til fluffy. Add vanilla and dry ingredients. Fold in chocolate chips, nuts and coconut.

Oven at 350 degrees. These spread quite a bit, so space well by heaping tsps.
Bake about 15 minutes - but firm up a bit on cooling, so I like them just getting browned, then when they are cool they are both crispy and chewy.
---------
I forget the amount they make, but it's many dozens!
But don't expect them to last long - they are amazing!

i had to cut the baking time down to 10 minutes on these as they browned really fast (using electric stove). Might add a bit more oatmeal so they don't spread quite so much, but they definitely are yummy! thanks for posting!

[Natalka]

Thanks, lucy = it's one of my most requested recipes! It's the combo of chewy, yet crispy, which does it!

Thanks for bumping the thread. My husband and I baked two different types of molasses cookies last weekend. I'll try to add them later.

Secret Recipe Chocolate Chip Cookies

Mix together:
1 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
2 tsp vanilla
1 tblsp lemon juice

In seperate bowl combine:
2 1/4 cups flour
1/2 cup oats
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 1/4 tsp baking soda

Chocolate Chips - as much as you like
nuts - optional

Preheat oven to 350'.
Add dry ingredients to wet ingedients. Then add the chocolate chips & nuts. Put in fridge for about 10 min. So butter hardens a little,otherwise cookies will spread out too much while baking.
Bake JUST untill lightly browned,they may still be slightly puffed.
*lemon juice is the secret ingredient.It activates the baking soda to make the cookies softer.

I made these 2 days ago and they were yummy. my kids loved them. of course cause every oven are different i just had to tweek the temp a bit. no cooking time was there but easy enough to figure out . will be making them again tonight but will try with a lil less cinnamon.
