Steps

1

Preheat oven to 275°F. In blender, whiz 1/2 cup of raisins with the water,it will be like stewed prunes.
2

I in large bowl mix raisin glop, shortening, egg, brown sugar and vanilla till smooth. Add flour, oats, baking soda, cinnamon and salt till evenly mixed. Stir in remaining raisins.
3

Place whatever size cookies you want to make ( I usually make them golf ball size and slightly flatten them)on parchment lined baking sheet or greased baking sheet. Bake 18-20 minutes or until lightly browned on bottom.
4

DO NOT OVERCOOK or they will loose their chewiness!
5

You can use half the sugar amount and add 3/4 cup more raisins if you like.
