DAVE WILLIAMS' COOKIES

Today we made oatmeal cookies. The recipe is from Dave Williams, a family friend from my hometown. An interesting man; (he has been shot several times, survived a few wildlife attacks, pulled himself out of a raging river, etc.) he always brought these delicious treats to various functions. The cookies are awesome and always come out a little rough around the edges (kind of like Dave Williams).

RECIPE
1 cup butter
1 cup sugar
1 cup brown sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon baking powder
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 cups flour
2 1/2 cups oatmeal
raisins to taste

Mix dry and wet ingredients separately, then combine. Put golf-ball sized balls onto cookie sheets then bake at 375 degrees for 8 minutes.
