Oatmeal Cookies "the Best"

The only thing I really like raisins in are these cookies from the original "Colorado Cache" cookbook.  The difference is you soak the raisins before putting them in the cookie, making them plump and delicious A great cookie for a cold winter's day. DELICIOUS!
 
 

Ingredients                                        Directions

 

  • 3 eggs, well beaten

  • 1 cup raisins

  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

  • 1 cup butter ( I use butter flavor Crisco at high altitude because butter runs too much. Could try half butter and half Crisco too).

  • 1 cup brown sugar (I use light brown)

  • 1 cup white sugar

  • 2 1/2 cups flour

  • 1 teaspoon salt

  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon

  • 2 teaspoons baking soda

  • 1 1/2 cups oatmeal

  • 1/2 cup toasted wheat germ

  • 3/4 cup toasted chopped pecans

  • 1 teaspoon water or so

 

Combine eggs, raisins, and vanilla and let stand for one hour, covered with plastic wrap. Cream together butter or shortening and sugars until well blended. Add flour. salt, cinnamon and soda to sugar mixture. Mix well. Blend in egg-raisin mixture, oatmeal, wheat germ, and chopped nuts. Add a teaspoon of water so dough is not so dry to work with, I found it needed that. Dough will be stiff. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto UNGREASED cookie sheets and flatten slightly with fork. Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
