Atholl Brose Oatmeal Cookies
½ cup oats, soaked in whiskey, now ¾ cup in volume
3 TBSP salted butter, softened
¼ cup brown sugar, packed
2 TBSP granulated sugar
¼ teaspoon baking soda
1 egg yolk, large
¼ tsp vanilla extract (bourbon vanilla is best)
⅓ cup all purpose flour
¼ tsp cinnamon
healthy pinch of salt
Instructions:
• Pre-heat oven to 325°F (160°C).
• Mix butter and both sugars until well blended.
• Add egg yolk & vanilla. Mix well.
• Add whiskey-soaked oats. Mix it together well.
• Ideally, mix all dry ingredients together separately & add to these wet ingredients. (But I just mixed them all in, and mixed really well.)
• Spoon scoops onto a silicon baking mat on a baking sheet, or use parchment. Space about 2 inches. I got 8 medium sized cookies from this recipe.
• Bake for 6 – 8 minutes. Watch carefully; these will want to spread out a lot.
• Cool on the silicon mat for a few minutes and then on a cooling rack.
Suggestion: Serve with Athol Brose. Or vanilla ice cream.

Atholl Brose
½ cups oatmeal (steel cut preferred, but not necessary)
¾ cup filtered water
¾
cup decent Scotch whiskey (I used Trader Joe's Single Malt Highland house brand, but a competent blended whiskey is just fine for this.)
1 TBSP honey
¼
cup double cream (The cream is optional.)
Instructions:
• Soak the oatmeal in the water for 24 hours.
• Add the Scotch. Soak for 36 additional hours.
• Strain the oats from the Scotch. (Use the oats for cookies.)
• Add (warmed) honey & cream
• Whisked until well mixed.
• Chill & serve.
Because of the cream, store in the refrigerator for up to a week.

Chicken and Pumpkin Tin Foil Stew
• Place butter in the middle of a sheet of aluminum foil. Deposit the mixture on top of the butter, and wrap to a log shape, sealing the edges. Turn the resulting aluminum foil log over, and wrap again in a second layer of aluminum foil.
• Grill over medium high for 20 or 30 minutes, until you can smell things cooking. (Alternatively, roast in the toaster oven.)
• Unwrap, serve and enjoy.
