Here's the clone to her cookies that come two to a pack that are so wonderful! Just be sure to take them out of the oven when they are just beginning to turn light brown around the edges so they'll be 'soft and chewy when cool.'
Oatmeal Raisin Big Cookies
* 1/2 cup raisins
* 1/3 cup water
* 1/2 cup vegetable shortening
* 1 egg
* 1-1/2 cups dark brown sugar
* 1-1/2 tsps. vanilla
* 2 cups all-purpose flour
* 1-1/4 cups oats (not instant)
* 2 tsps. baking soda
* 3/4 tsp. cinnamon
* 1 tsp. salt
* 1/2 cup raisins
1) Preheat oven to 275 deg.
2) Combine 1/2 cup raisins with water in a food processor and blend on high speed for about 1 minute or until very smooth.
3) Combine the raisin puree with the vegetable shortening, egg, brown sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix well with electric mixer until smooth.
4) In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the oats, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt. Pour this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix well until ingredients are incorporated. Mix in 1/2 cup raisins.
5) Roll 3-tablespoon-size portions of the dough into a ball in your hands and press to 1/2 inch flat on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook or the cookies will not be chewy. Store in a sealed container. Makes 16-18 cookies. Enjoyyyyyy!!!! 8-)
