Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
This is a nice, fairly standard recipe. It is modified from a recipe on the internet.

Ingredients

Eggs: 3, beaten
Raisins: 1 cup
Vanilla: 1 tsp.
Butter: 1 cup, softened
Brown sugar: 1 cup
White sugar: 1 cup
Flour: 2.5 cups
Cinnamon: 1 tsp.
Baking soda: 2 tsp.
Salt: 1/2 tsp.
Oatmeal: 2 cups
Nuts: 1 cup, chopped

Options:
Substitute 3/4 cup raisins + 1/2 cup dried apple chopped into small pieces, in place of 1 cup raisins

Directions:

1. Mix eggs, vanilla, and raisins(or raisin/apple mix) in a bowl and let stand for 1 hr.

2. Mix butter and both sugars until creamy. A power stand mixer is nice, but you can use any type of mixer, or do it by hand for more exercise.

3. Mix flour, cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a separate bowl, add to the butter mixture.

4. Add raisin/butter mixture, oatmeal, and nuts to the mix.

5. At this point, you can cover the dough with wax paper and refrigerate overnight. This is an option, but not required.

6. Make slightly flattened cookies, 1.5 in. diameter, and place on parchment paper on cookie sheets.
Bake at 350 deg. for 17-21 min. They should be lightly browned.
