Blue Ribbon Oatmeal Cookies
Even people who don't think they like oatmeal cookies like these

6 Tablespoons butter (4 Tbl. = ¼ cup)
6 Tablespoons margarine
1 cup light brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
4 Tablespoons water
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups flour
1 teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
2-½ cups oatmeal
1 cup raisins (craisins are good in these, too)
1 cup chopped nuts

Preheat oven to 350*

Cream butter, margarine, and sugars together. Add water and vanilla. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Combine flour, salt, soda, and cinnamon. Add to creamed mixture. Stir in oats, raisins, and nuts.

Drop by teaspoons on to prepared baking sheets, 2” apart. Bake 8-10 minutes or until bottom of cookies are lightly browned. Let stand to firm up before transferring to wire racks to cool. Store tightly covered.

Makes 4-5 dozen, but they disappear fast.
