2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. salt

1 cup raisins

Cream shortening and sugars. Mix in eggs and vanilla. Stir together flour, salt, soda, and spices. Fold into creamed mixture. Stir in oats and raisins. Drop dough by rounded teaspoonsfuls onto a greased cookie sheet.

***NOTE***my friend showed me a way to make all cookie recipes yield stay soft cookies. In dough, add one box of vanilla instant pudding (just the powder). Cookies stay soft and chewy!
