Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

crispy on the outside and a little bit of chew on the inside
Course: Dessert, Snack
Keyword: sweet treat

Ingredients

  • 2 cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 teaspoon baking soda
  • 1 teaspoon baking powder
  • ¾ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup shortening or softened butter
  • 1 ¾ cups brown sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 2 ½ cups quick cooking oats

Instructions

  • If using salted butter omit the salt recommended in this recipe. Also a combination of shortening and butter can be used.
    Sift together the first four ingredients, then with a mixer add the rest of the ingredients one at a time. The oats may have to be mixed in by hand if your mixer isn’t strong enough. If you have a kitchen aide mixer or something similar, you might want to switch to the dough hooks before adding all the oats.
  • Shape into balls and press down with a fork if you like these a little crispier, and bake an extra minute or two. For a softer chewier center, don't press down the balls.
    Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 10 – 12 minutes.
