Wonderful Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1 tsp salt

1 tsp baking soda

1 cup (2 sticks) butter (I use real butter for these)

2 eggs

1 cup brown sugar (packed)

1 cup white sugar

2 tsp vanilla

3 cups rolled oats

1 cup raisins

In separate bowl, sift together flour, salt and baking soda. Set aside.

In large bowl, beat softened butter, eggs, sugars and vanilla until smooth and creamy. Then add flour mixture and beat until smooth.

Add oats and raisins.

Shape into rolls and wrap in wax paper. Chill for a few hours in fridge.

When chilled, slice into 1/2" to 1" thick slices. Place on ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-15 minutes or until lightly browned.

Chocolate Chip Oatmeal Cookies

2 cups butter

2 teaspoons baking soda

5 cups oatmeal, blended in a blender to a fine powder

2 cups brown sugar

1 8 ounce grated Hershey bar

2 teaspoons baking powder

2 teaspoons vanilla

4 cups flour

2 cups sugar

24 ounces chocolate chips

1 teaspoon salt

4 eggs

3 cups chopped nuts

Cream the butter and both sugars together. Add the eggs and vanilla and beat until smooth.

Mix in the flour, oatmeal, salt, baking powder, and baking soda. Add chocolate chips, Hershey bar, and nuts. Roll mixture into 1" balls. Place 2" apart on an ungreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10 minutes at 375 degrees. This recipe makes 112 cookies.

Before baking, put a stick into the rounded cookie dough on the baking sheet for a cookie on a stick favor. Sticks can be purchased at craft stores and look like lollipop sticks or popsicle sticks.
