1 Stick Margarine (room temperature)
1/2 C Raw Sugar
1/2 C Molasses
1 Egg
1 t Baking Soda
1/2 t Salt
1/2 t Nutmeg
1/2 t Ginger
1 t Cinnamon
3/4 C Unbleached Flour
3 C Old Fashioned Oats (Uncooked)
1/4 C Candied Ginger (diced)
1/4 C Craisins
1/4 C Unsalted Cashews (raw or roasted)
1/4 C Walnuts
1/4 C Unslated Sunflower Seeds (raw or roasted)

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 Degrees

Coarsly chop your nuts and combine them in a small bowl with your fruits. Set aside.

In a Medium bowl, cream your margarine and sugar. Add molasses, egg, soda, salt and beat until smooth.
Add flour, spices and oats and mix well. Add your nuts and fruits and mix into the dough.

You should have a cookie dough that is similar to an oatmeal cookie. Roll into 1 1/2 inch balls and place about 2" apart on a cookie sheet.

Bake your cookies for 11-13 minutes. They should keep a ball shape (thus the chubby) and if you like ginger bread or ginger snaps, you won't be able to keep your hands off them (thus the grubbies)

Options:
1 t orange extract
Replace craisins with raisins (soak them first)
Replace one of the nuts with Pecans
