GRANDMA NELSON CHRISTMAS COOKIES

GRANDMA NELSON CHRISTMAS COOKIES
I love these cookies and look forward to them around Christmas.  Haven't tried making them myself yet - hopefully I can make them as good as Judi does.  If she puts in the raisins she likes to soak them in water and put in the microwave and heat until they puff up.  Top with almond bark (she does vanilla) and can do sprinkles or cinnamon/sugar mixture.

CREAM TOGETHER:
1# butter or margarine
1/2# brown sugar
2 c white sugar

ADD & BEAT WELL:
4 eggs

ADD:
1# flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 1/2 tsp baking soda
1 tsp salt
2 tsp vanilla
4 cups rolled oats
1 - 1 1/2 cup raisins, optional
nuts, optional
chocolate chips, optional (not sure if she ever adds these but it would be good)
1 tsp maple flavoring, optional

Bake at 375 until light brown.
