Preparation Time: 0:12
Cream butter and sugars until fluffy with electric mixer. Beat in egg,
vanilla and salt.

By hand, stir in flour, a 1/4 cup at a time. Stir in oats. (Add nuts
and/or
raisins now.)

Crop by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart. They will spread. But if
you want them thinner still, flatten each one with a glass bottom that's
been coated in granulated sugar.

Bake at 350.
About 12 minutes (not too dry!) but browned.
Cool on wire rack.
Yield: 3-4 dozen

If raisins are dry, they will draw moisture from batter as they bake. So
use real fresh or plumb them with a little boiling water; drain.
