2 c. oatmeal
2 c. brown sugar
1 c. melted shortening
1 egg
1/2 c. sour milk
1 tsp. soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
Raisins
2 to 2 1/2 c. flour

Mix sugar and shortening. Add eggs, oatmeal, spices and raisins. Put in refrigerator overnight. Take out and add 2 to 2 1/2 cups flour, only enough to keep dough from being too sticky. Using a teaspoon, place mounds of dough on greased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 8-10 minutes.
