GRANDMA'S OATMEAL DROP COOKIES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400°F.
• First, mix the following together thoroughly in a blender: shortening, eggs, sugar and molasses.
• ** I find its easier to measure the molasses when hot, so I stick the bottle in the microwave for a few seconds, and heat up my metal measuring spoon on the stove (careful).
• Second, in a separate bowl, sift together the following: flour, soda, salt and cinnammon.
• After these are sifted, slowly add them to the mixer with the ingredients from the first step.
• Mix until fairly smooth, no lumps.
• Fold in the oats and raisins.
• This is pretty tough on the mixer, so unless you have a good one, you may want to do this by hand.
• To bake, drop rounded teaspoonfuls (or whatever size cookies you want) on a lightly greased baking sheet, approx 2" apart.
• I like to press the center of the cookie down a bit, so it cooks evenly.
• Cook for approximately 8 minutes.
• Notes: The cookies should be very soft, and even look un-cooked when you take them out of the oven.
• -Don't worry, let them cool, and you'll be rewarded with an amazing, chewy, tasty cookie.
• -Of course, if you prefer hard cookies, cook approx 2 minutes longer, but I recommend the chewy version.

Steps:

• 1. If you are using raisins place them in a small bowl and pour very hot water on them. Let them sit for at least 1 hour but not more than 3 hours. Drain them VERY WELL and then set aside. I usually put them in a paper towel lined strainer and pat them to dry well. Then follow recipe as directed. If you are using craisins simply measure them and set aside. Do not soak craisins.
• 2. In a large mixing bowl, cream shortening and sugars. Beat in eggs and vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, baking soda and salt. Gradually add to creamed mixture. Stir in walnuts and raisins or craisins.
• 3. Drop by tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart on ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Remove to wire racks to cool. Store cookies in a cookie jar with a slice of bread placed inside with them. This keeps cookies from drying out.
