Oatmeal Raisin Cookies



I've been looking for a great Oatmeal Cookie recipe for a while - This is it!! It has been passed down and refined and will take center stage as my go-to oatmeal raisin cookie recipe from now on.



¼ cup butter

¼ cup shortening

½ cup brown sugar

¼ cup white sugar

1 egg

1 tsp vanilla

¾ cup flour (or flour substitute - ground oats, rice flour, etc)

1 tsp baking soda

pinch of cinnamon

pinch of salt

1 ½ cups oats

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.


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.

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.
