Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

• 1 cup shortening (yep-the unhealthy fat)
• 1 cup sugar
• Pinch of salt
• 1 cup raisins (boiled for 10 minutes & save water)
• 5 Tbsp raisin juice water (from above) After I am done boiling the raisins, I drain them & put the juice in the freezer for ~ 5minutes so it’s not hot when I add it to the other ingredients

• 2 eggs
• 2 cups oatmeal
• 2 cups flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• Pinch of nutmeg
• A bit of vanilla

Instructions
