Directions

  1. First, you put the raisins in a small pan of water uncovered and cook till puffy.

  2. Put in strainer to drain and cool.

  3. (I rinse them under cool water to cool them off quicker) Cream and beat together (using elect. mixer) the butter, brown sugar, and eggs.

  4. Mix together the flour (unsifted), soda, baking powder, cinnamon, oatmeal and add to the creamed mixture, using beater to mix.

  5. Last, add the raisins.

  6. With a spoon, mix them in ever so lightly.

  7. Drop by teaspoonfuls on lightly greased cookie sheets.

  8. (I use cooking spray) I sometimes use Tablespoonfuls to make bigger cookies!

  9. Bake them between 350*-360* for 8-9 minutes.

  10. Take them out before they get brown!

  11. Cool for a couple of minutes on the cookie sheet before transferring to waxed paper to cool completely.
