Oatmeal Cookies with Raisins and Chocolate Chips

My kids started calling these Mom's Oatmeal Cookies when they were babies. I would have a fresh batch waiting for them with a glass of cold milk when they got home from school. Well, the last fresh batch....since I probably ate the first couple of batches myself as the cookies came out of the oven.  I just can't resist them! The combination of cinnamon, raisins, chocolate chips, and oatmeal are a delight beyond description. Warm cookies on a cool afternoon are the best. They also came in handy when I was in graduate school - nothing like a couple of cookies to reward me for an hour of work on my dissertation.  Okay...if I didn't have time to cook, I would subtitute chocolate covered gummy bears for cookies - but that's an entirely different story. 

Ingredients:
2 sticks butter (softened)
2 Cups sugar
2Tbs of molasses
2 eggs
Splash of vanilla
2 Cups flour
1 Tbs. cinnamon
1½ tsp soda
2.5 Cups oats (I use about 2.75)
1 Cup raisins
1 Cup chocolate chips
  
Directions:
  -Cream together butter and sugar until uniform in texture
  -add molasses, eggs, and vanilla again until uniform
  -Put ½ cup flour into a 1 cup measuring spoon, mix the cinnamon and soda into the same measuring spoon with the flour, and add to mixture
  -Add the rest of the flour
  - add oats
  -add about a cup of raisins and a cup of chocolate chips, to taste
  -put on ungreased cookie sheets and bake at 350 degrees for ~11 minutes.
