KellyWA (09:14:21) : Oatmeal Doodles
Serves: 2 dozen 4-inch cookies

2 cups granulated sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 cup unsalted butter
2 large eggs
1 1/2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, preferably unbleached
1 cup quick-cooking rolled oats, uncooked (not instant)
1 cup dried blueberries (dried strawberries, or any dried fruit)

Coating:
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1. Preheat oven to 325F. Set the racks so that they divide the oven into thirds. You do not need to line baking sheets or grease them.

2. Using an electric mixer set on medium speed, combine the 2 cups sugar, baking soda, and salt for 15 seconds. Add the butter, eggs and vanilla and beat on medium speed for 2 minutes, until the mixture is light in color and smooth.

3. Scrape the bowl with a rubber spatula and add the flour, oat, and dried blueberries. Beat on low speed for about 30 seconds, just until evenly combined.

4. Using a rubber spatula, scrape the sides and bottom of the bowl, stirring the dough to be sure it is evenly mixed. In a small, shallow bowl stir together the cup granulated sugar and the cinnamon with a wire whisk or fork until evenly combined.

5. Using a heaping tablespoonful of dough, shape the dough into balls and then coat them in the sugar-cinnamon mixture.

6. Place the coated balls on the baking sheets, allowing about 2 inches between the balls of dough, and bake in the preheated oven for 7 min.

7. Remove the two baking sheets, and then switch them top to bottom. Place back into the oven and cook for an additional 7 minutes.

8. The cookies will puff up and then fall in the oven . They will look almost undercooked. This is exactly how you will want them to look. Using a metal spatula, remove them from the baking sheet and place them on a wire rack for 5 minutes to cool.

9. These cookies are incredibly chewy and may be stored in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks or you may wrap them tightly and freeze for up to 2 months.

Dawn-NYS (10:55:58) : Spicy Buffalo Wings

Cut each wing into two pieces. One piece will be the drummette. Lightly dust each wing piece with flour.
Do not use a batter. (This is just a lightly floured wing.)

Lightly dusting the wing with flour will help the sauce adhere better to the wing.

After the wing is lightly floured, drop the wings into hot oil in the deep fryer and fry for 10-15 minutes. The wings should appear a deep, golden brown. Then drain the wings.

When the wings are drained, put them in a bowl with 4 ounces of Rickey's hot or mild sauce* and one-eighth teaspoon minced or chopped garlic. Cover and shake vigorously until each piece is well coated. Put the wings on a plate, and serve them hot and crisp.
