These cookies are great! Soaking the raisins first are the key to this recipe. I found this in an old issue of a Mary Engelbreit magazine. Ingredients:
3 large eggs, well beaten |
1 cup raisins |
1 teaspoon vanilla extract |
1 cup butter, softened |
1 1/3 cups brown sugar, packed |
3/4 cup granulated sugar |
2 1/2 cups all-purpose flour |
1 teaspoon salt |
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon |
2 teaspoons baking soda |
2 cups quick-cooking oatmeal |
3/4 cup pecans, chopped (optional) |
Directions:
1. Combine eggs, raisins, and vanilla extract in bowl and let stand-covered for 1 hour.
2. Preheat oven to 350°.
3. Cream together butter and the brown and granulated sugars.
4. Add flour, salt, cinnamon, and baking soda; mix well.
5. Add raisin mixture, oatmeal, and optional chopped nuts. The dough may seem a little dry; but it will be fine.
6. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto an ungreased cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.
7. Bake for 10-12 minutes until lightly browned.
8. Cool on wire rack.
9. Notes: Recipe works well doubled.
10. Time to make does not include the 1 hour needed for soaking the raisins.
11. You can use golden or dark raisins.
