Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Original Recipe from:  Virginia Bowers-Johnson

These are my mothers famous Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.  Everyone loved them.  Her grandchildren would often call her to put in their request for a batch.  She always remembered who liked them with raisins and who preferred them without.  Try them and I am sure your loved ones will request them often.  Enjoy!
