Steps:
- Mix oil, brown sugar and eggs until well blended. (I use a hand-held mixer.) Add powdered milk to batter and continue mixing until well blended.
- Sift flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves together then stir with a whisk to combine completely. Add to egg and sugar mixture. ( I switch to a wooden spoon here).
- Stir raisins into batter. Add oatmeal gradually (about 1/2 cup at a time), adding a couple of tablespoons of water as you add oatmeal to help with stirring. Mixture will be stiff.
- Put heaping spoons full on greased cookie sheet. Bake 15 to 20 minutes in 325 degrees Fahrenheit oven above the center rack. The cookies brown faster on the bottoms than the tops.

Tips:
- Use old-fashioned oats. They provide a heartier texture than quick oats or instant oats.
- Don't overmix the batter. Overmixing will result in tough cookies.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies at a high temperature for a short amount of time. This will give them a chewy texture.
- Let the cookies cool completely on a wire rack before enjoying them. This will help them set and firm up.
