Favorite Recipes

Hello Everyone,
It is so much fun for me to see you all growing up so well. Cute students, moms, wives, and generally great adults. What a blessing you all are to Papa and I. We really love you all so much and think you do such a great job with all that you have going on. As per your requests I am posting two of our favorite recipes. The first one is for Oatmeal Cookies and the second one is for Whole Wheat Bread.

Cookies
2 Cups sugar
2 Cups applesauce
31/2 Cups flour
2 tsp. cinnamon (I add a little extra)
2 eggs
1 package chocolate chips
1 Cup butter
1 T. soda
2 tsp. nutmeg
dash salt
3 Cups oatmeal (I add an extra cup or two)
1 Cup nuts (you know...)
1 Cup coconut
Combine sauce and soda. Stir. Let stand. In a different bowl, mix butter and sugar. Add eggs, then sauce mix. Add sifted dry ingredients, and then everything else.
Spoon onto a cookie sheet. Cook for 9 min at 400 degrees.
Whole Wheat Bread
51/2 Cups very hot tap water
2/3 C. honey
1 T. salt
2/3 C. oil
8 Cups whole wheat flour
2/3 C. gluten
Combine the preceding 6 ingredients in a mixer in the order they are listed.
Mix 1-2 minutes
Add 3-5 T. Rapid Rise Yeast
4 Cups whole wheat flour
Mix 10 minutes
Divide into 5 loaves. Roll each out into a rectangle with a rolling pin. Roll up into a loaf. Place in a greased or "Pammed" loaf tin. Let rise 30 min. Should come up fast. Bake at 355 degrees for 30 minutes.
Good Luck
Happy Baking!!!
