OLD FASHIONED OATMEAL COOKIES

I think cookies are one of my kiddos favorites because they get to clean up (lick) what's left!  We love making all different kinds of cookies, but today they wanted one they love.

Old Fashioned Oatmeal Cookies
2 PP per cookie; if you have 2 cookies it is 3 PP, 3 cookies it is 5 pp etc.
Makes 6 Dozen Cookies (I used my small Pampered Chef Scoop)

• 1 C. Raisins
• 1 C. Water
• 3/4 C. Light Butter
• 1 1/2 C. Sugar
• 2 Eggs
• 1 t. Vanilla
• 2 1/2 C. Flour
• 1 t. Soda
• 1 t. Salt
• 1 t. Cinnamon
• 1/2 t. Powder
• 1 t. Cloves
• 2 C. Oats

Simmer Raisins and water over medium heat until raisins are plump, about 15 minutes.  Drain raisins, reserving the liquid.  Add enough water to the reserved liquid to measure 1/2 cup.

Mix thoroughly butter, sugar, eggs and vanilla.  Stir in the reserved liquid.  Blend in the remaining ingredients.

Place on cookie sheet about 2 inches apart.  Bake at 400 degrees for 8-10 minutes, until light brown.  They are the most moist cookies I think.
