Kent's Favorite Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Servings: 30 cookies, depending on size
Ingredients
- 1 cup shortening, dissolved in 1/2 cup hot water--I use this non-hydrogenated organic palm shortening. Or sometimes I'll substitute melted butter and that's awesome too.
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 2 teaspoons cinnamon
- 1 teaspoon baking soda – add to the hot water
- 1 1/2 cups organic brown sugar
- 2 cups flour this is my favorite flour
- 2 cups organic oatmeal
- 1-2 cups organic raisins (Organic dried cranberries are good too!)
- Organic sugar for the top if desired
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375*.
- Mix everything together and drop spoonfuls onto parchment paper lined or buttered cookie sheets.
- Sprinkle a little sugar on top if you'd like.
- Bake at 375* for about 10-12 minutes or until the edges are a little crispy and cookies are still a little soft. Cool on a wire rack.
