1/2 c. butter, softened
1 c. sugar
2 eggs
1/3 c. honey
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 c. oats
1 c. raisins

Cream butter with sugar in mixing bowl until fluffy. Beat in eggs and honey, beating briskly until well blended. Add flour, baking soda, and salt; mix thoroughly. Add oats and raisins and mix well. Drop by tablespoon onto buttered baking sheet, leaving 2 inches between mounds of dough. Flatten dough with fingers, dipping fingers into cold water before flattening to prevent sticking, if necessary. Bake cookies at 350 degrees until light brown, about 8 to 10 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on racks.
