Chewy Raisin Oatmeal Cookies

[cooky]

Have tried the following recipe and it has me puzzled.

Combine in saucepa: 3/4 c. raisins, 1/4 c. water, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 c. shortening.

Heat only until shortening is melted. Remove from heat.

Add: 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/2 tsp. baking soda, 1 tsp. cinnamon.

Stir together. Add 1 1/2 cups oatmeal. Drop by teaspoon on greased cookie sheet. Cool on rack immediately. Bake 10 - 12 minutes at 350 degrees.

I once tried to make cookies without flour-the recipe called for no flour.....They did not turn out but they made a great cookie dough cake!

I saw a recipe for a flourless, chocolate torte once, but never tried to make it. I thought it looked like it wouldn't work, and I hated to waste the ingredients.

I used to make them at work, very dense and rich, if that's what you're looking for. Can't imagine eating very much of one, though...I have no problems with gluten so I stick with the standards and I'm happy...never been known to refuse chocolate truffles though!!!

[Cassie-Jane]

Yeah I have not problems with gluten also......though I have a recipe fo rice flour muffins! They are good!

The oatmeal is in there instead of using flour as a binder.
