| OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES | |
 3/4 cup shortening 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 1 egg 1/4 cup water 1 tsp. vanilla 1 tsp. cinnamon 3 cups oatmeal (quick or old-fashioned) 2/3 cups raisins 1 cup flour 1/2 tsp. baking soda 1 tsp. salt 1/2 cup chopped walnuts or pecans or slivered almonds For the shortening, a combination of vegetable oil or butter (1/4 cup) and non-hydrogenated Crisco (1/2 cup) may be used. In the bowl of an electric mixer, beat together shortening, sugars, egg, water and vanilla for 1 minute. Sift flour, baking soda, salt and cinnamon. Stir until no streaks remain. Add gradually into the sugar mixture. Stir in oats, nuts and raisins. Mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto well greased cookie sheets. Bake at 350°F for 12-15 minutes (depends upon size of cookies). Be careful not to over-bake or the cookies will be dry. Chocolate chips, coconut or Craisins may be substituted for the raisins. Submitted by: CM | |

Christina (British Columbia) says:
I just wanted to say that you did not mention when to put the oil/butter/shortening in the recipe. I put it in last. Shall see how it works out. Thanks for your recipe though. Always fun baking with my 2 year old son. I will let you know how they turn out and how much the gang loves them.

Christina, the shortening goes in first - when in doubt - if its not clear in the recipe add ingredients according to listed order.

These cookies are delicious. This reminds me of a time when I spent the night at a sister's house in Ann Arbor and we spent the afternoon baking cookies. One of my fondest and most treasured memories.

These cookies are delicious. However my first batch burned because 12 minutes was too long to bake. The second batch I settled for nine minutes! It came out perfect! I got so much great comments from work!
