COOKING STEPS
Step 1
Whisk together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, cinnamon, salt and rolled oats in a large mixing bowl.
Step 2
Cut in shortening, mixing until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs.
Step 3
In a smaller, using a mixer, cream together the white sugar, brown sugar, eggs and vanilla extract.
Step 4
Add this to the flour mixture and mix well with mixer. Fold in raisins with a spoon. Make balls about the size of a small walnut and place on ungreased cookie sheet.
Step 5
I use the bottom of a drinking glass dipped in sugar to mash the cookies out flat.
Step 6
Bake in a preheated 350 degree oven for 10 to 12 minutes. Makes about 4 dozen.
⭐TIP
Cookies should come out of the oven a little undercooked. This keeps them from getting hard. The icing on these oatmeal cookies really keeps them moist.
