• 500g butter (about 2 1/8 cups. One block of butter is 454g, so it’s more than that)
• 450g sugar (2 cups)
• 4 large eggs
• 200g organic oatmeal (2 cups)
• 100g California Golden Raisins, chopped (scant 3/4 cup and I used purple ones because that’s what I could find.)
• 400g flour (2 3/4 cups)
• 5 mL baking powder (1 teaspoon)
• Dash cinnamon, optional

Method:

1. Cream Butter & Sugar Until Fluffy. Add Egg Gradually

2. Fold Flour, Oatmeal & Raisins Mix Well

3. Shape cookies into small round balls. Do not flatten – place on cookie sheets as balls.

4. Bake 180 degrees C until golden brown.

Yield: Makes approx. 30- 90g Cookies

(Mine made more than 30, for sure. Somewhere closer to 45.)
