This cookie is one of my very favorites!
I had watched an America's Test Kitchen episode on You Tube that featured this cookie and I watched it over and over again as I wrote everything down.
Mu Mother requests these cookies often.

Oatmeal raisin may be my favorite cookie. I also add nuts.

I have been using the Quaker recipe for Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies and think they're great but I'll have to check out this recipe.

@Andy M. I use to make the Quaker brand recipe as well, but the recipe above blows the doors off the Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies.
