    Very Good, Directions out of Order? Baked longer.
    These cookies pleased my 4 and 7 yr old children as well as Mom and Dad. I have made them 2 times so far. I followed the directions exactly the first time but on my 2nd baking I changed the order of the additions to facilitate easier mixing. For example:
    Creamed sugars and butter, then added eggs 1 at a time and mixed well. Added salt, baking soda and vanilla. Mix well. Then Peanut Butter mixed well. Followed by Oatmeal 1 C at a time. Last, the raisins, chocolate chips, and candies. Also liked them a little more well done. Baked at 360 for 12 min.
