Recipe Introduction


Aunt Angie loved oatmeal raisin cookies. She suffered through many a recipe as I searched for the "perfect" recipe. These cookies are fantastic, and are for my Auntie.

• 1/2 tsp. sea salt
  
• 1/4 tsp. fresh ground nutmeg
  
• 1 tsp. cinnamon

• 1/2 C. unsalted butter
  
• 1/4 C. butter flavored Crisco
  
• 1/2 C. brown sugar
  
• 1/2 C. superfine sugar
  
• 2 tsp. pure vanilla
  
• 2 jumbo eggs
  
• 1/2 C. milk
  
• 1 C. raisins
  






Instructions



1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Mix together flour, salt, nutmeg, cinnamon, baking powder and oatmeal, set aside.

Final Comments


These cookies are really good but get hard fast. Store in an air tight container after they have cooled.

Substitute chocolate chips for the raisins and you'll have an awesome chocolate chip oatmeal cookie.
