Grandmother's Oatmeal Cookies

• 1 1/2 cups sifted flour
• 1 tsp. baking soda
• 1 tsp. cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp. salt
• 1 cup sugar
• 3/4 cup butter or margarine
• 1 tsp. vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 cup quick cooking rolled oats
• 1 cup raisins
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Sift together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt onto waxed paper. Beat together sugar, butter and vanilla at low mixer speed for 1 minute. Scrape down side. Increase speed to high; beat 3 minutes. Reduce speed to moderate. Beat in eggs, one at a time. Beat in milk. Gradually beat in flour mixture. Stir in oats, raisins, and walnuts. Drop dough by slightly rounded teaspoons, 2 inches apart, onto greased baking sheets.

Bake in preheated 350 oven for 8-10 minutes or until lightly browned around edges; cookies will not be firm. Cool on baking sheet on wire rack for 1 minute. Transfer to wire rack to cool completely. Store in airtight containers.
