Perkins Cookies

My mom gave me the recipe for these cookies.  

Why they are called "Perkins" I really don't know but they are chewy 

and oh so good.  

Golden Syrup gives these cookies a unique flavour.  

This cane sugar syrup is available in Canada under 

the Roger's and Lyle's labels.

I have not tried to make them with corn syrup instead of the Golden Syrup but if any of you do, let me know how it turns out.

      

• 3/4 cup margarine                             
• 3/4 cup shortening                            
• 2  1/2 cups sugar                               
• 3/4 cup golden syrup                         
• 2 eggs                                      
• 1  1/2 cups oatmeal                             
• 4 cups flour  
• 4 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. salt
• 1/2 tsp. each nutmeg, cloves, allspice
• 1 - 1 1/2 cups chopped sultana raisins

1.  Cream together, margarine, shortening and sugar. 
2. Add golden syrup and eggs, mixing well after each addition.  
3. Add dry ingredients, mix well and then add raisins.  
4. Refrigerate dough for several hours.  
5. Roll into 1 inch balls and place on pan.  
6. Bake at 375˚F for 10-12 minutes.

These are nice chewy cookies that freeze well.         

Use a small scoop to make evenly sized cookies.
