Oatmeal Raisin Cookies: So easy even I can do it!

Oatmeal Raisin Cookies: So easy even I can do it!

Hey friends- I have a confession. I have NEVER made cookies from scratch..... EVER. I had no idea how to make cookies. I may have baked those pre-made cookies years ago, but that doesn't really count I wanted to give this recipe which I found on the back of an oat box a try but in my usual fashion I had a "Use what you've got" situation

Below is the original recipe and in parenthesis is how I cut in half or made substitutions.
Homestly, I was expecting a disaster and was VERY pleased with how they tuned out.

I will definitely make them again.

1 cup vegetable shortening (1/2 cup butter)
1 cup sugar ( 1/2 cup sugar in the raw)
1 cup brown sugar (1/2 cup)
2 eggs ( 1 egg)
1 teaspoon vanilla extract (1/2 teaspoon)
1 1/2 all purpose flour (3/4 cup bread flour)
1 teaspoon baking soda (1/2 teaspoon)
1 teaspoon salt (no salt)
3 cups of Old fashioned oats (1 1/2 cups oats)
1 cup of raisins (1/2 cup)
Walnuts - optional (no walnuts - they make my throat itchy)
