1. Beat together oil, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Add oats, oat bran, flour,
salt and baking soda. Stir to mix well.
2. Add raisins [or chocolate chips] and nuts, and blend evenly.
3. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet.
4. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes at 350 F (180 C); the cookies should not brown
very much. Remove to a wire rack to cool.
Makes 4 dozen cookies.
NOTES : If spicy cookies are desired, add 1 teaspoon (5 mL) cinnamon, 1/2
teaspoon cloves, and 1/2 teaspoon allspice to dry ingredients. Make sure
the vegetable oil is fresh and mild. [I would use a newly opened bottle of
canola oil.]
