This recipe produces six dozen cookies.

Ingredients

• 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
• 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1 egg, lightly beaten
• 1/2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tbsp molasses
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 3/4 cups old-fashioned rolled oats, uncooked
• 1 cup raisins

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F (176°C).
2. Mix the flour, cinnamon, baking soda and salt together in a large bowl.
3. Add remaining ingredients and mix together until blended.
4. Drop teaspoon-sized portions two inches apart on ungreased cookie sheets. If you want larger cookies, you can use a tablespoon, which will make 24 larger oatmeal cookies.
5. Bake about 10 minutes or until the edges are brown.

• Substitute a half cup dried cranberries and a half cup chopped walnuts for the raisins.
• Add a half cup chocolate chips and half cup chopped coconut for the ultimate oatmeal cookie.
• Omit the raisins and add one tablespoon grated orange peel.
