Cover raisins with boiling water and let stand 5 minutes; drain and dry on a towel; set aside. Discard water.

Mix together shortening and peanut butter. Gradually add sugar, creaming thoroughly. Add eggs, milk and flavoring, and mix well.

Stir in flour that has been sifted with salt, baking soda and cinnamon. Add oats and raisins; stir to blend. Drop by small spoonfuls on lightly greased cookie sheet. (Do not flatten.)
