This is the best Oatmeal Cookie I have ever tasted and is my family's favorite. This is a recipe that I have had for years that a friend of mine gave me. Ingredients:
3 eggs |
1 cup raisins |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup butter flavored shortening |
1 cup packed brown sugar |
1 cup white sugar |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 cups quick cooking oats |
1/2 cup chopped walnuts |
Directions:
1. Beat eggs, and stir in raisins and vanilla. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
3. Cream together shortening, brown sugar, and white sugar until light and fluffy. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon; stir into the sugar mixture. Mix in raisins and eggs, then stir in oats and walnuts. Roll dough into walnut sized balls, and place 2 inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets.
4. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes in preheated oven, or until edges are golden. Cool on wire racks.
