    Drop dough by rounded teaspoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until edges are set. Immediately remove from cookie sheet to wire rack.

  • If you like oatmeal, make this old-time family favorite even more appealing by using 1/2 cup old-fashioned oats in place of 1/2 cup of the flour, and try dried cherries in place of the raisins.
