Iced Oatmeal Cookies


These cookies...wow...these cookies...I would describe them but I am too busy debating if I should make them again.  So good!  Soft.  Just the right sweet.  So good.

- 1 cup shortening*
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup brown sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 tbsp vanilla
- 1 1/2 tsp cinnamon
- 1/2 cup pecans (optional)
- 1 1/4 cup flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- 3/4 tsp salt
- 1 tbsp water
- 3 cups quick cooking oats
- 1 cup raisins

Cream shortening and sugars.  Add remaining ingredients in order.  Mix well.  Bake at 350 for 14 minutes.  

Frost while warm with powdered sugar icing.  (Powdered sugar icing:  1 cup powdered sugar, 1 tbsp milk of choice, stir together.  If too thin, add sugar.  If too thick, add milk.  Desired consistency is like a glaze)

A friend brought these to my family after we had a baby.  I have made them several times in the 2 months since!  They are that good.  Enjoy!

*These are dairy free if you use the right shortening.
