Oatmeal Cookies

Gran has been making these on a weekly basis, and they keep disappearing in just a few days. This despite the fact that it is rhubarb season and we are going through pound upon pound of that too.

In any case, here are Canadian Living's classic oatmeal cookies (with raisins). We think they're fantastic.

In large bowl: beat 2/3 c. butter with 1 c. brown sugar until fluffy. Beat in 1 egg and 1 tbsp vanilla.

In smaller bowl: mix 1 1/2 c. large-flake rolled oats, 1 c. flour, 1/2 tsp each baking powder and soda, and 1/4 tsp salt.

Stir dry into wet ingredients along with 1 c. raisins until blended.

Drop, 2" apart, onto greased baking sheets and bake in 375 degree oven for 10 minutes.

This should yield 2-3 dozen cookies.
