My Favorite Cookie -EVER !!!!

Grandma Engwalls Oatmeal Raisin Cookies :

Oven : 325 degrees

Baking Time: 10 - 12 minutes ( I use the full 12 minutes )

Beat Together :

1 1/4 C. White Sugar

1/2 C. Crisco

1/2 C. Brer Rabbit Molasses ( I ONLY use Brer Rabbit)

2 Eggs ( Room temp .)

Sift Together :

1 3/4 C. Sifted Flour

1 tsp. Salt

1 tsp. Baking Soda

1 tsp. Cinnamon

Stir in 2 C. Rolled Oats ( Regular..not quick cooking kind)

1 1/2 C. Raisins ( I use dark)

Mix all together. It will be a stiff dough so at this point use a wooden spoon to mix...trust me .

Drop by teaspoon full and bake 10 - 12 minutes.

NOTE : I always make a test cookie and use parchment paper. With my oven I need the full 12 minutes.

I grew up with this cookie and it never fails to make me super happy. SU took some to work and all he said was there was a complaint...." You didn't bring enough of them ."

Happy baking !
