    Recipe Introduction


    These are my favorite cookies. You may subsititute chocolate chips, coconut or whatever you like for the raisins. Sometimes I do half raisins and half chocolate chips. Pre heat oven 350F. Makes approx. 4 dozen.


    List of Ingredients


    • 1 cup lard
    • 3/4 cup brown sugar
    • 3/4 cup white sugar
    • 2 eggs
    • 1 1/2 cups flour
    • 1 tsp. salt
    • 1 tsp. baking soda
    • 1 tsp vanilla
    • 1 tsp water (or a little more if needed)
    • 2 cups raisins
    • 2 cups rolled oats


    Instructions


    1. Cream the sugars and the lard until smooth and well blended.
    2. Add the eggs and beat until smooth.
    3. Pour the vanilla and water over the raisins and set aside.
    4. Sift the flour, salt and baking powder together.
    5. Add half of the sifted ingredients to the batter and stir well.
    6. Mix the rest of the dry ingredients into the rolled oats.
    7. Add the raisins alternately with the oat mixture to the batter. The mixture will be quite stiff.
    8. Drop by teaspoonful onto cookie sheet and press down with a fork.
    9. Bake at 350F for 12 - 15 minutes.
