1 c. butter (don't substitute)
1 c. yellow raisins
2 c. rolled oatmeal
1 tsp. salt
2 1/2 c. flour
2 c. sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. baking soda

The secret to these cookies is the yellow raisins. No matter how hard we tried to hide these during the holidays my dad would always sniff them out!

Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs, 1 at a time. Beat well. Add raisins, vanilla and oatmeal; mix well. Add remaining dry ingredients. Drop by teaspoon onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until bottom of the cookie is golden brown. Remove immediately from cookie sheets.
