My Ribbon Winning Oatmeal Cookies

I entered this recipe in the fair and won.  They are equally as good with, or without raisins.

½ Cup butter, softened
½ Cup sugar
½ Cup brown sugar
1 egg
1 Tablespoon water
½ Teaspoon vanilla
1 Cup cake flour
½ Teaspoon salt
1 Cup oatmeal (not quick)
½ Cup chopped pecans

In a mixing bowl, blend butter and sugars together. Beat in egg, water, and vanilla. Add flour and baking soda. Stir in remaining ingredients. Drop onto ungreased baking sheets. Bake at 375 for 10-12 minutes or until lightly browned.
