A friend of mine is teaching herself to bake cookies. As she tells it, when she was growing up cookies came from a box. This recipe is one of my favorites; it is right from the familiar paper Quaker Oats cannister.
1 cup (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
½ cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp. vanilla
1 ½ cups flour
1 tsp. baking soda
1 tsp. ground cinnamon
½ tsp. salt
3 cups Quaker oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup raisins
Heat the oven to 350°.
Beat together butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix well.
Stir in oats and raisins; mix well.
Drop by rounded teaspoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet.
Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown.
Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack. Cool completely.
Store in tightly covered container.
Variations:
Stir in 1 cup chopped nuts
Substitute 1 cup semisweet chocolate pieces for raisins; omit cinnamon.
Substitute 1 cup diced dried fruit mix for raisins.
