Ingredients

The following ingredients have 4 Servings
  • 3 eggs (well beaten)
  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 Cup butter (softened just enough for it to cream with sugars)
  • 1 Cup light brown sugar
  • 1 Cup white sugar
  • 2 1/2 Cups flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 2 teaspoons baking soda
  • 2 Cups oatmeal (Quick cooking works best. )
  • 3/4 cup chopped pecans

Instruction

  • In a bowl, add eggs and with a whisk or fork, beat the eggs well. Stir in raisins and vanilla and let stand for one hour, in the refrigerator covered with plastic wrap.
  • Cream together butter and sugars. Add flour, salt, cinnamon and soda to sugar mixture. Mix well. Blend in egg-raisin mixture, oatmeal, and chopped nuts. I used my stand mixer for this step.
  • Dough will be stiff.
  • Drop by heaping teaspoons onto uncreased cookie sheet or roll into small balls and flatten slightly on cookie sheet.
  • Bake 350 degrees for 10 - 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Let cool 10 - 15 minutes or until cool enough to move to a cooling rack without breaking.
