  • raisins
1x
Steps
  1. Mix flour, soda, salt and spices together. Add shortening, sugars, egg and milk.
  2. Blend well until smooth. Add raisins and oats. Place on greased cookie sheet and bake.
  3. Drop by teaspoonful onto sheet. Bake 375° for 12-15 minutes or until lightly brown.
Tips
Spices are optional and add just enough milk to make dough stiff enough for drop cookies. If too thin, cookies will run.

I always double this recipe.
