Ingredients: 3/4
cup
margarine,
softened
3/4
cup
light brown sugar 1/2
cup
sugar 1
large
egg 1/2
teaspoon
vanilla 1/4
teaspoon
salt 3/4
cup
all-purpose flour 1 1/4
cups
quick-cooking oats 1/2
cup
chopped nuts (optional),
finely chopped
1/2
cup
raisins, seedless (optional),
moist
Directions:
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy with electric mixer. Beat in egg,
vanilla and salt.
By hand, stir in flour, a 1/4 cup at a time. Stir in oats. (Add nuts
and/or
raisins now.)
Crop by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart. They will spread. But if
you want them thinner still, flatten each one with a glass bottom that's
been coated in granulated sugar.
Bake at 350.
About 12 minutes (not too dry!) but browned.
Cool on wire rack.
Yield: 3-4 dozen
If raisins are dry, they will draw moisture from batter as they bake. So
use real fresh or plumb them with a little boiling water; drain.
