Although I wasn't planning on having time today to make any cookies, Tim was sick and our plans changed. Good for me cause I got the 1st cookie finished today. Tim chose this cookie. It's one of his favorites. I personally have not made oatmeal raisin cookies before and since they are one of his favorites, I was nervous whether they would come out good.
These cookies were really easy to make and I tried one and I don't think I will have a problem impressing Tim!
All the ingredients together
Butter and shortening all creamed up
Rollin in the oats and raisins. I did keep the batter in the fridge as I was waiting for a batch to be done.
These were pretty easy to scoop out. I used a teaspoon and heaped it up.
The cookies came out browned on the edges. I made sure to let them sit at least 2 minutes before moving them to foil.

The cookies look good. However a little trick I know is, to plump the raisins. Soak them in orange juice, or apple juice something like that. If you want to get a little frisky soak them in Brandy...They soften up the raisins and are perfect in the cookie.
