Ingredients
- 1 cup raisins

- 1 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
- 2 eggs
- 2 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
- 2 cups oatmeal (quick cooking oats)
Directions
-
First, you put the raisins in a small pan of water uncovered and cook till puffy.
-
Put in strainer to drain and cool.
-
(I rinse them under cool water to cool them off quicker) Cream and beat together (using elect. mixer) the butter, brown sugar, and eggs.
-
Mix together the flour (unsifted), soda, baking powder, cinnamon, oatmeal and add to the creamed mixture, using beater to mix.
-
Last, add the raisins.
-
With a spoon, mix them in ever so lightly.
-
Drop by teaspoonfuls on lightly greased cookie sheets.
-
(I use cooking spray) I sometimes use Tablespoonfuls to make bigger cookies!
-
Bake them between 350*-360* for 8-9 minutes.
-
Take them out before they get brown!
-
Cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to waxed paper to cool completely.
