Golden Raisin Oatmeal Cookies


These are very portable and sooo yummy! Sometimes the kids don't even notice there are raisins because they're golden.

Ingredients
3/4 cup butter, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
1/2 cup sugar
1 egg
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
3 cups quick-cooking oats
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons grated orange peel
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
2/3 cup golden raisins

Directions
In a large bowl, cream butter and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg, water and vanilla. Combine the oats, flour, orange peel, cinnamon and baking soda; gradually add to the creamed mixture. Stir in the raisins (dough will be stiff).
Drop by level tablespoonfuls 2 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 350° for 12-15 minutes or until the edges are lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool. Yield: 4 dozen.
