By Paradoxblue

Ingredients

• 2 sticks butter, soft
• 2 cups light brown sugar, packed
• 3 tsp. baking powder
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 cups quick cooking oats
• 1 cup raisins, rolled in flour
• 2-1/2 cups flour
• 1 cup sugar
• 2 tbsp. water
• 2 tbsp. vinegar
• 1 cup chopped pecans (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°F. Combine sugars and butter. Add vanilla, water, and vinegar; mix well. In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and soda, followed by salt. Combine the two mixtures together. Add raisins, which have been lightly rolled in flour, and oats; mix together well. Add pecans if desired. Roll dough in small balls with about 6-9 cookies per ingreased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies won't look ready at 10 minutes but take out and let sit for 5 minutes in order to be chewy.
