Description
1 ½ cup flour
½ tsp salt
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
¼ tsp cloves
2/3 cup shortening
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
¼ cup water
2 cups oats
1 cup raisins
Preaheat oven to 350 degrees.
Mix dry ingredients together.
Add moist ingredients. Beat until smooth.
Blend in oats and raisins.
Drop by the teaspoonful onto a greased cookie sheet.
Bake 12-15 minutes for the first batch and 10-12 for each batch after the first batch.
These will almost look underdone, but they maintain moistness if let to sit for 5 minutes out of the oven.
