Joel’s been asking for oatmeal raisin cookies ever since I made oatmeal chocolate chip cookies last week. Poor guy ate two before asking where the raisins were. The very best recipe I’ve tried for oatmeal cookies is the one on the Quaker Oats tin. They call them Disappearing Oatmeal Cookies and it’s the perfect name! In our house they’re gone in a flash!
What You’ll Need:
1/2 cup (1 stick) plus 6 tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 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 ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups quick or old fashioned, uncooked oats
1 cup raisins
What To Do:
Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat butter and sugars on medium speed of electric mixer until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Add oats and raisins; mix well.
Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.
Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store tightly covered.

Guess the ‘quick or old-fashioned’ is the oats? These biscuits sound fab!
Yes, I used this kind: http://www.quakeroats.com/products/oatmeal/old-fashioned-oats.aspx I’m not sure what they might be called in the UK :)
