Mom's Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Raisin Cookies

Everyone has their favorite cookie and their favorite tends to be the cookies their mom made for them growing up. These are the cookies I grew up on and they are the best. I don't even like raisins but I'm okay with them in here which is saying something.

Ingredients:

• 1 c. butter
• 1 c. brown sugar
• 1 c. white sugar
• 2 eggs
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 1 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/2 tsp. salt
• 2 c. flour
• 2 c. oats
• Raisins (optional)
• Chocolate chips (as much as you want)

Directions:

1.  Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Mix butter and sugars well. 
2. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
3. Add the rest of the ingredients and mix thoroughly. (If you find that the dough is too sticky or thin simply add more flour and/or oats until it is the consistency you want.)
4. Roll dough into balls or use a spoon and place on cookie sheet. Bake for 7-8 min. or until golden brown around the edges.
