How to Make Blue Ribbon Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
- Clean the glass rim of the jar. Seal the jar with a FoodSaver or use an Oxygen Absorber to remove the oxygen from the jar. Place the metal lid on the jar and the metal band. For detailed instructions visit this webpage: homemakingdivas.com/mealinjar_intro. Printable tags for the jars are available. homemakingdivas.com/oatmeal_in_jar
- To make the cookies:
Open the jar and remove baggies. Discard the oxygen absorber. Place the baggie of the sugar mixture in a mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup shortening and 1/4 cup water. Mix until creamy. Add the flour/oatmeal ingredients and the baggie of raisins and mix. Note: If the raisins start to get a little bit hard soak them in 1/2 cup of hot water for 5-10 minutes. Drain the water off the raisins before adding them to the cookie
