Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

First of all, let me confess that I do not have a photo of these cookies.  I made them last week and forgot to take photos.  Now they're all gone :)

Theresa's Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1 3/4 cup butter (the original recipe called for shortening, but I think butter makes them better)
2 cups sugar
4 cups flour
3 cups rolled oats
2 cups raisins
1/2 cup milk
4 eggs
1 tsp baking soda
2 tsp cinnamon
2 tsp baking powder

Mix everything together -- the order does not seem to matter.  Just be sure to add the raisins last.  Drop by teaspoonfuls onto non-stick cookie sheet.  Bake at 375 for 10 minutes.

I usually make only half of this recipe because it simply makes too many cookies!  These are cake-like cookies, not crisp ones.  Rick only likes cakey cookies, so these are great for him.
