Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).

Grease a baking sheet with Crisco.

In a large bowl, combine brown sugar, Crisco, eggs, and vanilla.

Beat with an electric mixer at medium speed until well blended.

In a separate bowl, combine flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt.

Gradually add the dry ingredients to the creamed mixture at low speed.

Beat until just blended.

Stir in the oats and raisins using a spoon until evenly distributed.

Drop rounded tablespoons of dough onto the prepared baking sheet.

Sprinkle granulated sugar on top of each cookie.

Bake for 10-12 minutes, or until golden brown.

Let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes before transferring to a wire rack to cool completely.
