3/4 tsp. salt

2 cups quick oats

1 1/2 cups flour

1 tsp. baking soda

Start by covering the raisins with water in a small sauce pan. Bring to a simmer until water has mostly evaporated. Remove from heat and blend into a puree. Set aside.

In a medium mixing bowl cream sugar and butter. Add in the eggs, beating well. Stir in the rest until well combined. Chill dough for 1 hour before baking. Bake at 375F for 10 minutes. Let the cookies rest in the baking sheet for 5 minutes before placing on a wire rack to cool.
