Answer 2

I made Oatmeal cookies when my mother was in the hospital the last time I was down to visit with her. I played around with her recipe and came up with a very moist one. I was able to duplicate it across 4 batches of cookies. Unfortunately I didn't write down what changes I made. So, what I'll do here is give you her original recipe and tell you what changes I made it to as best as I can remember.

RAISIN SPICE OATMEAL COOKIES

1 c flour
1/2 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp salt
1 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp nutmeg
1/2 c butter
1/2 c brown sugar
1/4 c white sugar
1 egg
2 T milk
1 c raisins
2 c oatmeal
1/2 c pecans - chopped
1/2 c walnuts - chopped

Place raisins in a pan, cover with water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let steep until room temperature.

Sift together the flour, baking soda salt, cinnamon and nutmeg. Set aside. Cream together the butter, brown and white sugars until totally incorporated. Add the egg and the milk and beat well. Strain the raisins (setting aside the water - you'll need a little of it). Add the raisins, flour and oatmeal. Mix until just mixed. Add about 1/8 cup of the water off the raisins. Mix until just mixed. Add the nuts and mix until just mixed. Place on sprayed cookie sheet and bake 375º for 12-15 minutes or until browned on top.

If you want a moist chewy cookie, find one with brown sugar either in place of white or with more brown than white. If you want a dry crisp cookie, make it all white sugar.

By steeping the raisins, they will end up nice and moist in the batter. By not steeping the raisins, they are hard lumps - some people like the hard lumps - I prefer the moister cookie with soft raisins.

Enjoy! My mother shared her cookies with the nurses in the hospital and they loved them.
