Oatmeal Cookies

From:   Becky

Ingredients:
2
1 c
1 c
2
1 tsp
2 c
1 tsp
1 tsp
1 tsp
1 c
2 c
1/2 c
sticks butter
white sugar
brown sugar
eggs
vanilla
flour
baking soda
salt
cinnamon
raisins
oatmeal
chopped nuts
Procedure:
  1. Preheat oven to 350° F.
  2. Grind or pulverize the raisins and the oatmeal.
  3. The raisins can be ground in a hand meat grinder or in a food processor.
  4. The oatmeal can be done in a blender, a cup at a time, or in a food processor.
    (I mix the oatmeal and raisins together using my hands after they're ground.)
  5. Cream the butter and sugar together in a large mixing bowl.
  6. Sift in the flour, baking soda, and salt and mix.
  7. Add ground raisins, pulverized oatmeal, and chopped nuts and mix.
    (I added a cup of chocolate chips.)
  8. Bake spoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheet for about 12 minutes.
These cookies are best if frosted with a simple vanilla white frosting. Make the frosting in a saucepan using powdered sugar, milk (can be canned), and vanilla. (I added cream cheese to the frosting - yum).

These are very good eaten frozen.
