20 15 35

Ingredients

3/4 cup shortening
1 cup sugar
1 cup packed brown sugar
1 egg
1/4 cup water
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups self-rising flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
3 cups quick-cooking oats
3/4 cup raisins
FILLING:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup shortening
3-3/4 cups confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons 2% milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Dash salt

Directions

In a large bowl, cream shortening and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in the egg, water and vanilla. Combine the flour, baking soda and cinnamon; gradually add to creamed mixture and mix well. Stir in oats and raisins.
Drop by tablespoonfuls 3 in. apart onto ungreased baking sheets. Flatten with a glass. Bake at 325° for 13-14 minutes or until lightly browned. Remove to wire racks to cool.
In a large bowl, combine filling ingredients; beat until smooth. Spread on the bottoms of half of the cookies; top with remaining cookies. Yield: 3 dozen.

Editor's Note: As a substitute for each cup of self-rising flour, place 1-1/2 teaspoons baking powder and 1/2 teaspoon salt in a measuring cup. Add all-purpose flour to measure 1 cup.
