My Mom wanted a recipe for Oatmeal cookies. This one is courtesy of Anna Olson.

2/3 cup unsalted butter at room temp
1 cup dark brown sugar
1 egg
1 T. vanilla
1 T. molasses
1 cup all purpose flour
1/2 t. baking powder
1/2 t. salt
1/2 t. baking soda
1.2 t. cinnamon
1/4 t. nutmeg
1 1/2 cup oats
1 cup raisins

Preheat oven to 350 degrees
Cream together butter and sugar until smooth. Add egg and blend. Sire in vanilla and molasses. In separate bowl combine flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda and spices.
Add to butter mixture and blend. Add oats and raisins and stir just until combined.
Drop by tablespoonfuls onto parchment lined cookie sheet and bake 7 to 9 minutes.

You should get 2 dozen cookies
You could also add a few dried cranberries instead of raisins.

ENJOY***
