BEST OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
This is a family favorite that I have been making for years. It's the most requested oatmeal cookie recipe I've ever made. I found it somewhere years ago, but have lost the source. The secret is soaking the raisins which makes all the difference.

Steps:
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Mix the flour, baking soda, salt, and cinnamon together in a large bowl.
- Beat the butter and sugar with an electric mixer in a large bowl until smooth. Add the eggs one at a time, allowing each egg to blend into the butter mixture before adding the next. Mix in the flour mixture until just incorporated. Fold in the oats and raisins; mixing just enough to evenly combine. Drop spoonfuls of the dough 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake in the preheated oven until golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Cool in the pans for 10 minutes before removing to cool completely on a wire rack.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Whisk eggs in a small bowl, add 1/4 cup water, 1 tsp vanilla and raisins; mix well. VERY IMPORTANT let set on counter for at least 1 hour.
- In another bowl, combine crisco, and sugars, mix well.
- Gradually add dry ingredients.
- Blend in raisin mixture -- mix well.
- I use a cookie scoop, slightly less than 1/4 cup and place them on a greased cookie sheet. I slightly flatten them with the back of the scoop.
- Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Do not flatten cookies a lot -- just a gentle tap.other wise they will flatten out too much.
- Baking note: please remember to reverse position of cookie sheets halfway through baking. DO NOT OVER BAKE. Cookies should be slightly golden brown around edges. Centers will look set-- let cool 1 minute on cookie sheet and then remove to wire rack to complete cool.
- I have used this recipe for over 30 years-- always outstanding-- most important thing to remove cookies from oven before they are finished-- residual heat in cookies will complete cooking-- and result in a cookie that is not dried out.
- I also add more walnuts, as I like lots of big nuts in my oatmeal cookies-- I have often left the egg, raisin mixture on counter, for a couple of hours while cleaning house and came back and baked marvelous cookies.

Tips:
- Use high-quality oats: Look for old-fashioned rolled oats, as they provide the best texture and flavor in oatmeal raisin cookies.
- Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing can result in tough cookies. Mix the dough just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough: Chilling the dough helps to firm it up and makes it easier to handle. This also helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Use a cookie scoop: A cookie scoop helps to ensure that all of the cookies are the same size and shape. This also helps to prevent the cookies from spreading too much in the oven.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature: The ideal temperature for baking oatmeal raisin cookies is 375°F (190°C). This temperature helps to ensure that the cookies bake evenly and that they don't burn.
