RECIPES AT THE TOP - CHIT CHAT AT THE BOTTOM! Here's how I make the Best Oatmeal Raisin Cookies EVER - AT HOME MY WAY: Best Oatmeal Cookies EVER! 3/4 cup butter (use the real thing - I use salted butter), ( softened to room temp ) 1 cup dark brown sugar ( I didn't have brown sugar so used 1 cup regular sugar and added 1 teaspoon molasses to my creamed ingredients. Light brown sugar works fine also.) 1/2 cup regular granulated white sugar 1 egg 1 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon regular table salt 1 teaspoon vanilla 1/4 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour 2 cups oats (old fashioned oats-uncooked) 1 cup raisins (+water for cooking them) Directions (I use a wooden spoon to mix these up): FIRST - Preheat oven to 375° . NEXT (don't skip this step)-Put the raisins in a little pot and cover with water. Bring to a boil and then shut off the heat. Let them sit 15 minutes - just while mixing your cookie dough...
