Twice Baked Potato Casserole

Old-fashioned Oatmeal Cookies

Ingredients

  • 1 cup raisins
  • 1 cup water
  • ¾ cup shortening
  • 1½ cup sugar
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tsp. TRK Pure Vanilla Extract
  • 2½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. baking soda
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. TRK 100% Organic Cinnamon
  • ½ tsp. baking powder
  • ¼ tsp. TRK 100% Organic Ground Cloves
  • 2 cups quick-cooking oats
  • ½ cup chopped walnuts (optional)
  • ½ cup chocolate chips (optional)

Preparation

In a saucepan, cook raisins in water over medium heat until plump, about 15 minutes. Drain, reserving liquid. Add enough water to the liquid so it measures ½ cup. In a mixing bowl, cream shortening, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Stir in raisin liquid. Blend in dry ingredients. Stir in raisins and oats. Add walnuts and/or chocolate chips if desired. Place teaspoons full of cookie mix about 2 inches apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375°F for 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown..
