How To Make oatmeal raisin cookies
-
1Preheat oven: 350 degrees. This recipe is prepared by hand, no mixers.
-
2In a small saucepan simmer raisins in water until plump. about 10 to 15 minutes.
-
3While that’s simmering, mix together shortening and both sugars until blended.
-
4Add eggs and vanilla and blend using a wooden spoon.
-
5Add your dry ingredients then your oats.
-
6Drain off most of your water from the simmered raisins. Add the HOT raisins and applesauce to the mix. (If you don't have any applesauce I have used the water from the raisins, just make sure you have 1/2 cup, if not add to it.)
-
7Drop spoonfuls on to your cookie sheets and bake for 10 to 15 minutes. Depends on your oven and on the times.
-
8Cool cookies on a wire rack. After cooled you can frost them with butter cream frosting or a simple glaze.
-
9**** My glaze: powdered sugar, milk, and a drop of STRONG instant coffee.****
-
10Optional: you can add nuts to this! YUMBO!
