Steps:
- 1. Mix the spices with the flour and sift one time to blend. Cream the butter and sugars until smooth. Add the egg and vanilla, mix well. Add the flour mixture and mix well. Fold in the oats and raisins blending them in.
- 2. Drop by heaping teaspoons or use smallest scoop, onto parchment lined baking sheets. Bake at 350 for 8 minutes, DO NOT overbake or they will be hard...for nice smooth chewy cookies, 8 minutes is all they cook, remove from oven, cool on sheet for two minutes then remove to cooling rack to finish cooling.
- 3. Note: Raisins may be plumped using water or juice...I use apple juice and brind to just a simmer in a boiler on the stove, remove from heat and let them set while I work on the batter, then squeeze the excess juice away and add to the batter.

CHINESE 5-SPICE OATMEAL COOKIES
When I purchased a bottle of Chinese 5-spice powder from my Watkins lady, this is the recipe that came with it. Chinese 5-spice is a blend of aromatic seasonings and includes the licoricy taste of star anise. You can find Chinese 5-spice prebottled in many grocery stores or at an Asian market (or from your local Watkins rep).

5 SPICE OATMEAL RAISIN COOKIES
This is adapted from the Quaker oats Vanishing Oatmeal cookie recipe. I love oatmeal cookies, but most are too bland for me. My family gobble these up almost as soon as they come out of the oven. I use a small general purpose ice cream scoop to make uniformly sized cookies. Enjoy!

Tips:
- Use fresh ingredients. The fresher the ingredients, the better the cookies will taste. Use ripe bananas, fresh eggs, and real butter or coconut oil for the best results.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing the dough will make the cookies tough. Mix the dough just until it is combined, then stop.
- Chill the dough before baking. Chilling the dough will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much. Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before baking.
- Bake the cookies at the right temperature. The temperature of the oven will affect the texture of the cookies. Bake the cookies at the temperature specified in the recipe to ensure that they turn out perfectly.
- Let the cookies cool before serving. Let the cookies cool on a wire rack for a few minutes before serving. This will help them to set and prevent them from falling apart.
