1 c brown sugar, packed
1 c butter or margarine (room temp)
2 eggs, beaten

Cream together sugars and butter until smooth. Add eggs and mix. Stir in oats and other dry ingredients. When well-combined, add vanilla and raisins. Chill for about 30 mins. In the meantime, preheat the oven to 350°. Roll into ping-pong sized balls, squish slightly and place on ungreased cookie sheet. Bake at 350° for 10-12 minutes. Let cool on the pan for five minutes, then place on cooling rack.
