Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Now that the batteries are charged for the camera I can take a picture of these cookies. Hubby had been asking for some oatmeal raisin cookies for awhile. I have never made them before but did have a good oatmeal cookie recipe that he liked. I went to work and used my oatmeal cookie recipe with a few added ingredients. These cookies did turn out flatter then my normal oatmeal cookie recipe. I really enjoyed these and hopefully hubby will too.

1 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
½ teaspoon Cinnamon
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 ½ cups flour
2 cups Old Fashion Oats
1 cup Raisins

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Cream shortening and gradually add the sugars. Add eggs and vanilla.
3. In a small bowl combine flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda. Slowly add to wet ingredients.
4. Stir in oats and raisins.
5. Form into small balls and bake for 10 to 12 minutes.
