3/4 c. butter, softened
1 c. packed brown sugar
1/2 c. sugar
1 egg
2 tbsp. water
1 tsp. vanilla
3 c. quick-cooking oats
2/3 c. flour
2 tbsp. grated orange peel
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. baking soda
2/3 c. raisins

In a mixing bowl, cream butter and sugars. Beat in egg, water and vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, orange peel, cinnamon and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the raisins (dough will be stiff). Drop by level tablespoonfuls 2-inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.

Bake at 350°F for 12 to 15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
