Healthy Cookies???

Per Greg's request, I decided to make Oatmeal Raisin cookies this week. They might not be "health" food but definitely "healthier" than my usual with the raisins (fruit!) and oatmeal (whole grains!). They turned out fantastic!

Ingredients: (4 dozen cookies)

2 sticks margarine or butter, softened
1 c firmly packed brown sugar
½ c granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 ½ c all-purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp ground cinnamon
½ tsp salt (optional)
3 c Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 c raisins

Preparations:

1. Heat oven to 350°F. In large bowl, beat margarine and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well. Add oats and raisins; mix well.

2. Drop dough by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets.

3. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheets; remove to wire rack. Cool completely. Store tightly covered.
