Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I've been trying to get a hold of this recipe from my mom for ages.  It is by far, the best oatmeal raisin cookie recipe I've ever come across.  According to her, it was passed down to her from her Aunt Jewel, so you know it's a keeper.

Ingredients

• 1 cup (2 sticks) butter
• 1 cup brown sugar
• 1 cup regular sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla
• 2 eggs
• 1 1/2  flour
• 1 tsp salt
• 1 tsp baking soda
• 2 cups raisins
• 3 cups oatmeal

Directions

1. Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.

4. Combine the two bowls together, then add raisins and oatmeal.
5. Grease a cookie sheet, then mold the dough into 1 inch balls.
