Oatmeal Raisin Cookies.. MY style

2 sticks butter, soft (SMART BALANCE or margarine)
2 cups light brown sugar, packed
3 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
1 tsp. vanilla
2 cups quick cooking oats
1 cup raisins, rolled in flour
2 1/2 cups WHOLE WHEAT flour
1 cup Truvia (or sugar.. i use Truvia.. you may also use splenda)
2 tbsp. water
2 tbsp. vinegar


Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine sugars and butter. Add vanilla, water, and vinegar; mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and soda, followed by salt. Combine the two mixtures together. Add raisins, which have been lightly rolled in flour, and oats; mix together well.

Roll dough in small balls with about 9 cookies per sheet.. no more

Bake for 10-12 minutes. Cookies won't look ready at 10 minutes but take out and let sit for 5 minutes in order to be chewy.
