Grandma's Cookie Company was
founded back in 1914 by Foster Wheeler, but it wasn't until 1977 that
the company introduced the popular Big Cookie. This large, soft cookie
comes two-to-a-pack and is offered in several varieties, including
oatmeal raisin. Now you can bake up a couple batches all your own with
this kitchen clone. Just be sure not to over do it in the oven. You want
these cookies soft and chewy when cool -- just like a happy grandma
would make 'em -- so take them out when they are
just beginning to turn light brown around the edges.
1/2 cup raisins
1/3 cup water
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 egg
1 1/2 cups dark brown sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 1/4 cups oats (not instant)
2 teaspoons baking soda
3/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup raisins
1. Preheat oven to 275 degrees.
2. Combine raisins with water in a food processor and blend on high speed for
about 1 minute or until very smooth.
3. Combine this raisin puree with the vegetable shortening, egg, brown
sugar and vanilla in a large bowl. Mix well with electric mixer until smooth.
4. In a separate bowl, combine the flour with the oats, baking soda,
cinnamon and salt. Pour this dry mixture into the wet mixture and mix well until
ingredients are incorporated. Mix in raisins.
5. Roll 3 tablespoon portions of the dough into a ball in your hands and press to
1/2-inch flat on an ungreased baking sheet. Bake for 18-20 minutes. Be careful not to overcook, or the
cookies will not be chewy. Store in a sealed container. (http://www.topsecretrecipes.com)
