The original one from the Quaker Oatmeal box lid, not the current one. Current recipe might be healthier, but is not as good!

- 1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 2 eggs
- 1 teaspoon vanilla
- 1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon baking soda
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- ½ teaspoon salt
- 3 cups Quaker Oats
- 1 cup raisins, or cranberries, or dried cherries, or whatever…
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Cream together butter and sugars. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.
- In a separate bowl, mix together flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt.
- Add dry mixture to the butter/sugar mixture and mix until well combined. Stir in oats and raisins; mix well.
- Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool one minute on cookie sheet then transfer to wire cooling rack.
