Time 40m

Yield 20 cookies, 20 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2/3 cup vegetable oil
1 cup brown sugar, packed
3 large eggs
1 1/3 cups non-fat powdered milk
1 1/3 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
3 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 teaspoon ground cloves
1 cup raisins
3 cups quick-cooking oatmeal
1/3 cup water, to moisten (optional)

Steps:

Mix oil, brown sugar and eggs until well blended. (I use a hand-held mixer.) Add powdered milk to batter and continue mixing until well blended.
Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves together then stir with a whisk to combine completely. Add to egg and sugar mixture. ( I switch to a wooden spoon here).
Stir raisins into batter. Add oatmeal gradually (about 1/2 cup at a time), adding a couple of tablespoons of water as you add oatmeal to help with stirring. Mixture will be stiff.
Put heaping spoons full on greased cookie sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in 325 degrees Fahrenheit oven above the center rack. The cookies brown faster on the bottoms than the tops.
