     Title: Crispy Oatmeal-Raisin Cookies
Categories: Cookies, Snacks, Desserts, Grains, Fruits
     Yield: 22 Cookies

 1 1/2 c  Old-fashion oats: (not quick
          - cooking)
   1/2 c  All-purpose flour
   1/2 c  Whole wheat flour
     2 ts Ground cinnamon
   1/2 ts Baking soda
   1/4 ts Salt
   1/3 c  Butter; room temp
   1/4 c  Granulated sugar
   1/2 c  Dark brown sugar
     1 lg Egg
     1 ts Vanilla extract
   1/4 c  Raisins

 Set the oven @ 350ºF/175ºC. Line baking sheets with
 parchment paper and set aside.

 Combine the oats, all-purpose flour, whole wheat flour,
 cinnamon, baking soda, and salt in a medium bowl and whisk
 to mix well. Set aside.

 Combine the butter-flavored spread, granulated sugar, and
 brown sugar in a large mixing bowl and beat at medium
 speed until mixture is fluffy. Beat in the egg and
 vanilla. Add the oat mixture and beat at low speed until
 moistened. Stir in raisins.

 Drop mounds of dough, 2 level tsp each, 2" apart on the
 prepared baking sheets. Bake until bottoms of cookies are
 lightly browned but centers remain soft, 10 to 12 minutes.

 UDD notes that: I like this type of cookie more chewy
 than crisp - so, I pull them from the oven a bit early.

 Cool cookies on baking sheets on wire racks for 2 minutes.
 Remove from baking sheets and cool completely on wire
 racks. The cookies can be covered in an airtight container
 and stored at room temperature up to 2 days
