This recipe comes strait off the Quaker Oats lid. I did use a little less butter, and a bit more cinnamon, and they turned out incredible! The perfect balance of sweetness from cinnamon and sugar, and chewiness from oats and raisins.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup, PLUS 4 Tablespoons butter, softened
3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups oats
1 cup raisins

- Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F.
- In large bowl, beat butter, brown sugar, and sugar on medium speed of electric mixer until creamy.
