- 1 cup rolled oats old fashioned or quick cooking
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- ¼ cup pecan halves
- 2 tablespoons raisins

- Stir in rolled oats and vanilla extract. Set aside for a few minutes to allow the oats to soak up the moisture. If the batter is very wet/thin still, add 1-2 tablespoons of oats.1 cup rolled oats, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Line a baking tray with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. (Cookies will stick if you skip this step!)
- Drop spoonfuls of batter onto baking tray and then shape with your fingers. Cookies do not spread out while baking, so shape them into the width and height you want them to be. This recipe will make about eight medium, 3-inch wide cookies.
- Press 1 pecan half into the center of each cookie. Press 2-3 raisins into the top of each cookie.¼ cup pecan halves, 2 tablespoons raisins

Notes
If making small 2-in wide cookies, reduce cooking time by 3-5 minutes. If making large 4-in wide cookies, increase cooking time by 2-3 minutes.
