Eggless Chewy Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

Preheat oven to 350F. Combine sugars and butter. Add vanilla, water, and vinegar; mix well.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking powder and soda, followed by salt. Combine the two mixtures together. Add raisins, which have been lightly rolled in flour, and oats; mix together well. Add pecans if desired.

Roll dough in small balls with about 6-9 cookies per greased cookie sheet. Bake for 10-12 minutes.

Cookies won't look ready at 10 minutes but take out and let sit for 5 minutes in order to be chewy.
