Yield: About 54 cookies (27 servings)

- 3/4 cup (1-1/2 sticks) margarine, at room temperature
- 1/2 cup packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 large egg, or 1/4 cup egg substitute
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking soda
- 1/2 cup raisins, soaked in water and well drained
- 3 cups rolled oats, quick-cooking or regular

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

In a large bowl, beat together the margarine, sugars, egg, 1/4 cup water, and vanilla until creamy. Combine the flour, salt, and soda in a medium bowl. Add to the creamed mixture. Add the raisins and rolled oats. Mix well.

Drop by rounded teaspoonfuls on ungreased cookie sheets. Bake the cookies 12 to 15 minutes, or until set. Remove the cookies to wire cooling racks while still warm or they will stick to the pan. When they cool, store them in an airtight container.
