Oatmeal Cookies

When my son was little, he couldn't say oatmeal.  Instead he called it "oak milk."  I love that boy!

Oatmeal Cookies

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 cup softened butter or margarine
1/4 cup sugar
3/4 firmly packed light brown sugar
2 eggs
3 1/2 cups quick cooking oats
1 package (4 serving size) vanilla instant pudding*
1 cup raisins (optional)

Mix flour and baking soda, then set aside.  Combine butter, sugars, and dry pudding mix in a large bowl; beat until smooth and creamy.  Beat in eggs.  Gradually add flour mixture; stir in oats and raisins.  The batter will be stiff.  Drop by rounded spoonfuls about 2 inches apart onto a baking sheet that has been sprayed with Baker's Joy or covered with parchment paper.  Bake at 375 degrees for 10 to 12 minutes.  Makes about 5 dozen.
