The Best Oatmeal Cookies

This cookie recipe keeps the cookies moist for several days. The secret ingredient is the instant vanilla pudding - omit it at your own peril.

Preheat oven to 350

1 1/2 cups unsifted flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup butter (can substitute margarine, but NOT as good)
1/4 c white sugar
3/4 c brown sugar
1 pkg (4 servings) instant vanilla pudding
2 eggs - beaten
3 1/2 c oatmeal
1 c raisins (I soak the raisins in hot water while I am mixing the cookie dough, drain before using)

mix four and soda
combine butter, sugars & pudding mix in mixer bowl. beat until smooth; beat in eggs. gradually add flour and oatmeal; then stir in the raisins.

drop 2 inches apart by teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake for 10-12 minutes.
