Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies Recipe

Ingredients:

1 cup margarine, softened

1 cup packed brown sugar

1/2 cup white sugar

2 eggs

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

1 cup raisins

1 cup black walnuts, coarsely ground

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice

3 cups rolled oats

Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

Beat margarine and sugars, until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Sift and add to the egg mixture. Stir well.

Grind the raisins up with 1 teaspoon of sugar until they are in small pieces--not mush! Stir in oats, nuts, raisins and mix well, drop by tablespoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Cool 1 minute and remove to wire rack. When cool store in airtight container. NOTE: You can add butterscotch or chocolate pieces in place of the raisins.
