This recipe comes from the Land O'Lakes butter company. They have a wonderful website with some super recipes. I love oatmeal-raisin cookies! Give this recipe a try.
3 cups quick-cooking oats
2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup Land O'Lakes Butter, softened
2 eggs
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons vanilla
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/2 cups raisins
Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
Combine all ingredients except flour and raisins in a large mixer bowl. Beat at low speed, scraping the bowl often, until well mixed. This will take 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour. Continue beating until well mixed, another 1 to 2 minutes. Stir in raisins by hand.
Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls 2 inches apart onto greased baking sheets. Bake for 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are lightly browned.
Yield: 4 dozen cookies
