sugars until fluffy with electric mixer. Beat in egg, vanilla and salt.

By hand, stir in flour, a One fourth cup at a time. Stir in oats. (Add nuts and/o
raisins now.)

Crop by rounded teaspoons about 2 inches apart. They will spread. But if
you want them thinner still, flatten each one with a glass bottom that's
been coated in granulated sugar.

Bake at 350. About 12 minutes (not too dry!) but browned. Cool on wire
rack. Yield: 34 dozen

If raisins are dry, they will draw moisture from batter as they bake. So
use real fresh or plumb them with a little boiling water; drain.
