Oatmeal Craisin Cookies

I almost always use the recipe for oatmeal raisin cookies that is provided on the oatmeal box, but I found this recipe and stuck it in my recipe binder. My mom is out here visiting since I recently had surgery and we decided to make these. In the middle of making these, we realized we did not have enough brown sugar, so we improvised, and they turned out awesome!  So I am posting our version of this recipe since they turned out so good!

Oatmeal Craisin Cookies:
1/2 cup butter, softened
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
1 1/4 cup sugar
1 1/2 Tbs. molasses
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla extract
1 1/2 cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
2 tsp. cinnamon
3 cups oatmeal
1 cup craisins (or you can use 1/2 craisins, 1/2 raisins)

Preheat oven to 350. Cream butter, shortening, and sugar until well blended. Add the eggs, molasses, and vanilla, and blend well. Blend flour, baking soda, and cinnamon, and add to the creamed mixture and mix well. Add the oats and craisins. Stir until meed well. Drop rounded teaspoons onto ungreased cookie sheets about 2 inches apart. Bake for 10-12 minutes.
