1 1/2 c. all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
1/2 c. shortening
1 c. sugar
1 egg
1 1/2 c. rolled oats
2/3 c. buttermilk
1/2 c. chopped nuts
1 c. seedless raisins
1 tsp. baking soda

Sift flour, measure and resift twice with salt, soda and cinnamon. Cream shortening, blend in sugar and add slightly beaten egg. Beat until smooth and light. Stir in half the flour, then add milk, then the rest of the flour, oats, nuts and raisins. Stir until well mixed.

Drop from a teaspoon onto a buttered baking sheet. Bake in moderately heated 400 degree oven, for 10 minutes, or until nicely brown. makes about 35 cookies. My grandchildren think these are the Best of the Best.
