Today's "Happy Thing"

So, in the previous post I wrote about doing something everyday that makes me happy. For today's "happy thing" I decided to make my favorite oatmeal raisin cookies. I absolutely love to bake, which can be bad because I am the one in my house who usually ends up eating it all! But, that's neither here nor there, it makes me happy! I thought I would share the recipe for "The Best" Oatmeal Cookies. That's what they are really called, and not my biased opinion! Enjoy! (and don't feel bad if you end up eating them all by yourself, they are just that gooooood!)

"The Best" Oatmeal Cookies

3 eggs, well beaten

1 cup raisins

1 tsp vanilla extract

1 cup butter

1 cup brown sugar

1 cup white sugar

2 1/2 cups flour

1 stp salt

1 tsp ground cinnamon

2 tsp baking soda

2 cups oatmeal

Combine eggs, raisins, and vanilla and let stand for one hour, covered with plastic wrap. You can't skip this step because this is the secret to making the cookies "the best!" Cream together sugars and butter. Add flour, salt, cinnamon, and soda to sugar mixture. Mix well. Blend in egg-raisin mixture and oatmeal. Dough will be stiff. Drop by heaping teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes about 4 to 5 dozen.
