Raisin prep: mix all raisin prep ingredients together and let sit (covered) 1h.

While raisins soak: mix 1 c butter, 1 c brown sugar, and 1 c white sugar to make cream base.

To cream mix, add flour, salt, cinnamon, baking soda, oatmeal, and mix. Can be stiff so use hands if needed.

Add egg/raisin mix and mix.

Drop onto ungreased cookie sheet in round tablespoons. Bake at 350°F for ~8-12 minutes. Cool on pan for 2 minutes then remove onto foil on counter.
