Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

These delicious, old-time oatmeal raisin cookie recipes are taken from Mom's old recipe scrapbook and handwritten recipe books.

These are the same chewy oatmeal cookie recipes that my Grandma used. I enjoyed these cookies when I was a young boy, and I still love them today.

Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
Mix well together a cup each of butter and sugar, seven tablespoonfuls of sweet milk, two cups of flour sifted with a teaspoonful of baking soda, two cups of dry oatmeal, a cup each of seeded raisins and chopped pecans or walnuts or peanuts. This makes a stiff dough and must be kneaded by hand to mix the nuts and raisins well. Drop by the spoonful on buttered tins and press round and thin. Make in rather a quick oven. --Mrs. W. E. Kispin
