Juniour Oatmeal Cookies

{From a newspaper clipping with the following:  "I do not know the Juniour Rolled Oat Cookies recipe in the 1924 or 1925 booklet to shich you refer.  What follows is a simplified recipe which children can make."}

1 cup sifted all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp ginger
1 cup brown sugar, packed
1 cup rolled oats
1/4 cup cooking oil
2 tbsp milk
1 egg
3/4 cup Spanish peanuts

Note:  Young cooks should be reminded to turn the oven on in "bake" position to 375 F so it will be heated when their cookies are ready to bake.

Combine in bowl flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon, ginger, brown sugar & rolled oats.  Mix in thoroughly the cooking oil, milk & egg.  Stir in peanuts.  Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls 2" apart on a lightly greased baking sheet.  Bake about 10 minutes just until firm.  Makes about 3 dozen.
