How to Make Cinnamon Bran And Raisin Cookies
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup bran cereal with ½ cup boiling water. Stir well, cover, and let stand for 10 minutes to soften.
- In a large bowl, cream together ½ cup shortening, ¾ cup granulated sugar, and ½ cup packed brown sugar until light and fluffy.
- Beat in 2 large eggs one at a time, mixing well after each addition.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 2 ½ cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon baking soda, and ½ teaspoon salt.
- Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
- Stir in 1 cup rolled oats, 1 cup raisins (or chocolate chips/cranberries), and the softened bran cereal mixture until evenly distributed.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased baking sheets.
- Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown and edges are set.
- Let cool on baking sheets for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
- Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
