 Amount  Measure       Ingredient -- Preparation Method
--------  ------------  --------------------------------
    3/4  cup           margarine -- softened
    3/4  cup           light brown sugar
    1/2  cup           sugar
  1      large         egg
    1/2  teaspoon      vanilla
    1/4  teaspoon      salt
    3/4  cup           all-purpose flour
  1 1/4  cups          quick-cooking oats
    1/2  cup           chopped nuts (optional) -- finely chopped
    1/2  cup           raisins, seedless (optional) -- moist

Cream butter and sugars until fluffy with electric mixer.  Beat in egg,
vanilla and salt.

By hand, stir in flour, a 1/4 cup at a time. Stir in oats.  (Add nuts and/or
raisins now.)

Crop by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart.  They will spread.  But if
you want them thinner still, flatten each one with a glass bottom that's
been coated in granulated sugar.

Bake at 350.
About 12 minutes (not too dry!) but browned.
Cool on wire rack.
Yield: 3-4 dozen

If raisins are dry, they will draw moisture from batter as they bake.  So
use real fresh or plumb them with a little boiling water; drain.
