Hello Teresa,
"Oatie doodle hearts" does not compute, sorry. I think you mean the "Oat Doodles"
recipe below, which is from BH&G.
Phaed
Oat Doodles
Like snickerdoodles, but with oatmeal. This is a variation of a recipe from
the January 2005 Better Homes and Gardens magazine.
2 cups oats (not instant)
2 cups flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cream of tartar
4 teaspoons cinnamon
1 cup Butter Flavor Crisco
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/3 cup sugar
2 teaspoons cinnamon
Pre-heat oven to 400°F.
Grind oats in food processor until fine.
Combine oats, flour, soda, 4 teaspoons cinnamon and cream of tartar.
Set aside.
Cream Crisco and sugar until light in color.
Add eggs and vanilla and incorporate.
Add dry ingredients in two batches, mixing well between additions.
Combined 1/3 cup sugar and 2 teaspoons cinnamon.
Roll dough in 1 inch balls.
Roll is sugar/cinnamon mixture.
Bake 8-10 minutes, until set and slightly cracked.
Cool on sheet 1 minute.
Remove to racks and cool completely.
Note: butterscotch chips or chocolate chips can be added to the dough,
but you will loose much of the snickerdoodle effect.

Hello Ann,
A great way to keep ginger is to put whole roots in a jar and cover with dry sherry.
Ginger will keep indefinitely this way. Just slice off as needed. Be sure the sherry
continues to cover the ginger.
See below for other ways.
Phaed
Pickled Ginger
1/2 cup fresh ginger -- sliced paper thin
1/4 cup white vinegar
1/4 cup rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup sugar
Stir all ingredients together in non-reactive stainless steel pan or glass
saucepan and bring to a boil.
Let mixture cool to room temperature and chill overnight. (Pickled ginger
keeps for several months in the refrigerator.)
Yield: 1 1/2 cups
-----------------------------
Pickled Ginger
2 tablespoons sugar
1 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup water
1/2 pound fresh ginger root
Combine sugar, vinegar (use ONLY rice vinegar) and water in 1-pint jar
with tight-fitting lid.
Peel ginger then cut it into long, PAPER-THIN slices using a swivel-bladed
vegetable peeler.
Place the slices in the pickling liquid. Refrigerate at least 2 to 3 weeks
before using.
Yield: 1 pint. If kept submerged in the liquid, this will keep indefinitely
in the refrigerator.
