12 TBLE (1 1/2 sticks) sweet butter
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1 cup brown sugar
1 egg
2 TBLE water
1 tea vanilla
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tea cinnamon
1/2 tea salt
1/2 baking soda
3 cups quick oats
1 cup raisins

1. Preheat oven 350. Grease cookie sheets
2. Cream butter and both sugars until fluffy. Add egg and beat thoroughly. Mix in water and vanilla.
3. Sift together flour, cinnamon, salt and soda; add to the egg mixture and mix well. Add oats and raisins, and mix.
At this point you can either go to #4 or refrigerate and bake another day. Just gets tastier in fridge.
4. Form cookies on greased sheet and bake for 15-17 minutes until edges are done but centers still soft. Remove and cool on rack.
