2 c. brown sugar
1 c. melted shortening
1 egg
1/2 c. sour milk
2 c. oatmeal
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
raisins
2 to 2 1/2 c. all-purpose flour

Mix sugar and shortening. Add egg, milk, oatmeal, baking soda, cinnamon, salt 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°F for 8-10 minutes.
