Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

My hubby's favorite cookies. I found this great recipe in a cook book that I got for our wedding. Sometimes Betty Crocker just can't be beat. :)

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

2/3 Cup Granulated Sugar
2/3 Cup Packed Brown Sugar
1/2 Cup Butter, Softened
1/2 Cup Shortening
1 Tsp. Baking Soda
1 Tsp. Ground Cinnamon
1 Tsp. Vanilla
1/2 Tsp. Baking Powder
1/2 Tsp. Salt
2 Large Eggs
3 Cups Oatmeal
1 Cup Flour
1 Cup Raisins
* You can add Nuts and or Chocolate Chips if Raisins are not your thing.

Mix all ingredients except for oats, flour, and raisins in a large bowl. Slowly add the last three items and mix together well. Drop by rounded spoonfuls about 2 inches apart on a cookie sheet and bake at 375 degrees for 9-11 min. YUMM!
