Ingredients

1 cup raisins

1 cup butter (softened)

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)

Preparation

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 transfering to waxed paper to cool completely. 12 Enjoy!
