1 c. shortening
1 c. white sugar
1/2 c. buttermilk
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda
2 c. oatmeal
2 c. flour

Roll out and cut out round cookies. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 minutes. Fill with raisin filling between the two cookies.

FILLING:

1 pkg. (4 c.) raisins
4 tbsp. flour
2/3 c. + 2/3 c. water
1 c. sugar

Grind raisins. Add remaining ingredients. Boil until filling thickens. Spread between cookies just before serving so they will not become soggy.
