Grandma's Oatmeal Cookies

1 c. margarine (I use butter)
2 1/2 cups sugar
1 cup molasses
4 eggs
4 1/2 to 5 cups flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. salt
2 tsp. cinnamon
4 cups oats
raisins

Cream butter and sugar. Add eggs and molasses. Sift dry ingredients and add. Mix in oats; add extra flour if needed. You don't want them too stiff or too sticky. Bake at 400 for 8-10 minutes.

Recipe from Grandma Farrell. She made them often when we would go to her house or to the cabin.
