Soft Oatmeal Raisin Cookies
1 1/2 cups butter or hard margarine, softened
1 1/2 cups packed light brown sugar
1 cup granulated (white) sugar
2 large eggs
1/4 cup water
1 Tablespoon vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups all-purpose (plain) flour
2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
1 1/2 teaspoons baking soda
6 cups oats
3 cups raisins

Preheat oven to 375◦F. Grease or line baking sheets.
In a large bowl, cream the butter and both sugars together well until light and fluffy. Beat in the eggs, then the water and vanilla. Stir in the flour, cinnamon, and soda, followed by the oats, then the raisins.
Drop dough by tablespoons onto prepared baking sheets. Bake for 12-15 minutes until golden. Cookies will be soft, but will firm slightly if left to cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes.
