(This is the recipe for "Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies" from Quaker Oats. I have been making them for 30 years and they are still one of my favorites! I like to add a little bit of nutmeg. *I usually replace the RAISINS with CRAISINS. My family likes it when I leave the crazy raisins completely out!)
