This recipe fits all of the criteria you have been searching for, for that "perfect" oatmeal raisin cookies. These cookies are served at Disneyland and are just the BEST!

3 1/4 cups flour
1 TBSP. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. baking soda
2 cups plus 2 TBSP. crisco shortening
1 3/4 cup brown sugar, packed
1 1/2 cups white sugar
3 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla(I use the pure stuff,not imitation)
4 cups regular oats
2 1/2 cups raisins

Blend flour, baking powder, cinnamon, salt and baking soda in a bowl. Set aside. In another bowl, blend shortening, brown sugar, sugar, eggs and vanilla. Beat til fluffy. Mix in dry ingredients until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add raisins and oats and mix. On a greased cookie sheet, put scoops (balls) of dough about 2 1/2 TBSP. for each. (or you can use a # 24 size scoop). Spray a little PAM spray on your palm and press down on each ball until about 1/4" thick, and about 3" across. Bake at 350* 9-12 minutes. Cool on sheets, then remove. YUM YUM!
