Steps:

  • 1. Prepare the Recipe in a Jar: In the bottom of a wide mouth quart canning jar place oatmeal and flour

  • 3. Place raisins in a small sandwich baggie. Twist the baggie tight and place baggie of ingredients into the jar.

  • 5. To make the cookies: Open the jar and remove baggies. Discard the oxygen absorber. Place the baggie of the sugar mixture in a mixing bowl and add 1/2 cup shortening and 1/4 cup water. Mix until creamy. Add the flour/oatmeal ingredients and the baggie of raisins and mix. Note: If the raisins start to get a little bit hard soak them in 1/2 cup of hot water for 5-10 minutes. Drain the water off the raisins before adding them to the cookie
  • 6. Preheat oven 350 Degrees. Drop cookie dough from spoon on cookie sheet. Bake 11-13 minutes until lightly brown on the bottom of the cookie.
