Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I found this recipe off of All Recipes.com and have absolutely loved it. AJ and I eat a few too many of them… maybe this is why I feel like I have to run a few extra miles lately. And scroll to the bottom… you’ll see a little guy who loves eating his raisins. 🙂

Ingredients
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup butter flavored shortening
1 cup packed light brown sugar
1/2 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground cloves
1/2 teaspoon salt

3 cups rolled oats
1 cup raisins

Directions
1.Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

2.In a large bowl, cream together the butter, butter flavored shortening, brown sugar, white sugar, eggs, and vanilla until smooth. Combine the flour, baking soda, cinnamon, cloves, and salt; stir into the sugar mixture. Stir in the oats and raisins. Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

3.Bake 10 to 12 minutes until light and golden. Do not overbake. Let them cool for 2 minutes before removing from cookie sheets to cool completely. Store in airtight container. Make sure you get some, because they don’t last long!

Even my little guy loved the raisins!

  2. What an absolutely beautiful blog you have! And now I want oatmeal raisin cookies. 🙂 Actually, I don’t like raisins so I usually put butterscotch chips in (ha!).
