Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies, Back Again!

Tonight I made an old favorite, one I've written about before -- Quaker Oats Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies. I love making these, and don't worry about finding that recipe if you haven't made them in a while - it's right there, printed on the inside of the container lid! These cookies are being packed up for something special, but before they are, here are a few photos and a link to the recipe from that previous post.  If you're like me, you may even become so attached to this recipe that you don't even have to look up the recipe -- it'll be in your head! It's nice to have a cookie so natural, so home-made, and  without any of the chemical additives found in packaged cookies from the store. You just can't beat home-made!


An old, familiar face!


Recipe can be found under the lid...


….right here!


The amazing cookie dough!


And beautiful cookies!

  1. I gain weight just looking at your posts. Everything looks so yummy! I have made these cookies before they are good. I haven't made them in a while.

  2. It just doesn't get better than this original recipe! My best friend and I used to make these all through high school and then I would make them for my kids…I guess I need to introduce sweet Layton to them now! Loved seeing this post!

  4. I've never made that recipe before I'll have to try it for my teens and see what they think! This is what I get for buying the cheap tubs of oats, no recipe on the lid

  6. I love this recipe, but not a raisin fan, however, chocolate chips are a wonderful substitute. Also like slivered almonds and use vanilla and/or almond flavoring

  7. Recipe sounds like one I will enjoy trying. It reminds me of my Grandmothers raisin cookies. :) RMoya

  8. Love homemade oatmeal cookies! Thank you for the reminder that baking will warm up the house as well as the soul! Homemade doesn't take much work and is so much better tasting. I might use butterscotch chips instead of raisins. Sue Dunbar Smith

  9. I love oatmeal cookies with chocolate chips in them instead of raisins. These look so good. I'll have to give them a try sometime.

  10. Jeannie, I just made these cookies last week--although I use dried cherries instead of raisins, when I can find them. It's a delicious recipe!
