My brother recently asked me about a cookie bar My Mom use to make. I have her recipe box so I dug through and found it. Today is his 62nd birthday so I made them for him as a gift from our Mom who's been gone now for over 20 years. They were even better than I remembered.
2 cups rolled oats
1 cup all purpose flour
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
3/4 cup melted butter
1 cup raisins
1/4 cup apple jelly
Cinnamon icing
Combine oats, flour, brown sugar, cinnamon and soda. Mix well. Stir in butter until evenly mixed. Remove 1 cup crumb mixture and set aside. Pat remaining mixture into a 9x9 greased pan. Combine raisins and jelly then toss with reserved mixture. Sprinkle over layer in pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 25- 30 minutes or until edges are golden brown. While warm cut into 9- 3 inch squares. Cut each square diagonally to make triangles. Cool in pan. Meanwhile mix 1/2 cup powder sugar, 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon and 2 teaspoons milk to make a thin icing. Drizzle over the cookies. Remove from pan when completely cool. Makes 18.
You can substitute orange marmalade or apricot jam for apply jelly.
