Patsy's Notes:

these cookies are so good the kids love them when i let them have a little taste they think because theres rum in them they get drunk

Directions

in a small sauce pan, beat raisins and rum to a boil over medium high heat, cover and remove from heat.

allow to rest for 30-45 minutes for raisins to absorb the rum.

preheat oven to 350. line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

in a large mixing bowl, cream together the butter and brown sugar until uniform.

beat in the egg, vanilla extract and molasses.

gradually beat in flour, baking soda, salt and oats. stir in the raisins (and any remaining rum that did not get absorbed).

drop by tablespoons onto prepared baking sheet and bake for 12-15 minutes (the cookies may appear darker in color from the molasses, this does not necessarily mean that they have browned).

allow to rest for a few minutes on the baking sheet and remove to a cooling rack to cool completely.
