This cookie is an all time favorite and can be varied simply by substituting chocolate chips for the raisins.

Prep: 1 hr - Bake: 9 min

1 1/2 cups firmly packed brown sugar
1 cup LAND O LAKES® Butter, softened
2 eggs
2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups quick-cooking oats
1 cup raisins or chocolate chips


Heat oven to 350°. Combine brown sugar and butter in large mixer bowl. Beat at medium speed, scraping bowl often, until creamy (1 to 2 minutes). Add eggs, water and vanilla; continue beating until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Reduce speed to low. Add all remaining ingredients except oats and raisins; beat until well mixed (1 to 2 minutes). Stir in oats and raisins by hand.

Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheets. Bake for 9 to 11 minutes or until lightly browned. Let stand 1 minute; remove from cookie sheets. Cool completely.
