Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I love sinking my teeth into soft, warm oatmeal cookies.  The best thing about these cookies is that you could eat them as they are or add raisins, dried cranberries, nuts, or even chocolate chips!  You can make them your own and enjoy them right out of the oven with a cold glass of milk or in the morning with your coffee.  YUM!

Ingredients

2 sticks butter, softened

1 cup firmly packed brown sugar

1/2 cup granulated sugar

2 eggs

1 tsp. vanilla

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1 tsp. baking soda

1 tsp. cinnamon 

1/2 tsp. salt

3 cups uncooked oats (quick or old fashioned)

1 cup raisins (or other dried fruit, nuts, or chocolate chips), optional

Beat together butter and sugars until creamy.  Add eggs and vanilla until well blended.

Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt and mix well.

Stir in oats and raisins and mix well.

Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto foil-lined baking sheet sprayed with non-stick baking spray.

Bake at 350 for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown.
