The other day I had a craving for chocolate so made these chocolate chip cookies. The recipe was from an old Quaker Oats promotional mini-cookbook I sent away for many years ago. I added the raisins to the recipe.
Ingredients:
1 cup butter or margarine
1 1/4 cups of brown sugar
2 eggs
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/4 cups all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
3 cups uncooked Quaker oats (or other oatmeal brand)
1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cup raisins
Beat the butter and sugar together until it is light and fluffy and then add the eggs and vanilla. Blend it all together. Next, combine flour, soda, salt & spice and mix well.Then stir in the oatmeal, the semi-sweet chocolate chips and raisins. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto a greased cookie sheet and bake for 10-12 minutes in a 350°F oven. If you fing that the dough doesn't stick together simply by stirring, use your hands to mix and form the balls to place on the cookie sheet. You can use the tines of a fork to press the balls of cookie dough down. Makes about 2 1/2 dozen cookies.
I may have made these cookies once before. I don't remember as it has been awhile since I've used this cookbook or even made chocolate chip cookies. The cookies are not heavy or dense. They are quite light and have a bit of crunch. Yum.

@affectioknit Indeed they were! Do they fit your vegan way of eating? I know they have eggs but I actually put a banana in mine cuz guess what. I went to get the eggs and they were gone. My roomie had eaten them! lol
@Lynda, thank you for dropping by. And, 'yes' the cookies fit the late night snack attack, lol. I imagine with the stores so far from where you are, you must also raid your cupboards for things to fill your snack attacks :-) With your excellent culinary skills that shouldn't be too hard.
@Sandy, thank you. They were indeed. Thank you for dropping by my blog. I hope you can visit again soon :-)
@Kilauea Poetry, thanks for dropping by again. I think I'll change my 2nd photo, lol. I had a big compliment from my roomie on the cookies so if you try them, let me know!
Tasty addition. Oatmeal raisin is one of my all time favorite cookies; chocolate chips make 'em special.
@Katy, I know you make such tasty meals and I know you like old time recipes. To me, this recipe is one of the old timers and is always a favourite.
