    This is cookie is called the Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies recipe and I'm assuming they are called so because this delicious chewy cookie doesn't stick around long once they are made!

    The original recipe is from the back of the Quaker Whole Oats oatmeal box and I would have to say this is my one of my favorite cookies when it comes to those of the chewy cookie department.

    ❤️ Why you'll love it

    • They bake up nice and golden brown with crispy edges and chewy centers.
    • The flavor of these cookies has a touch of cinnamon that compliments the chewy raisins and oats.

    🥘 Ingredients

    As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases.

    Unsalted butter: this should be at room temperature, soft enough to press your finger into the stick and leave an indent.

    Light brown sugar: the brown sugar is the part that aids in making these cookies chewy with a caramelized flavor. You can also use dark brown sugar if preferred.

    Granulated white sugar

    Large eggs

    Pure vanilla extract

    Flour: I used regular all purpose flour.

    Baking soda: to aid in leavening the cookies.

    Ground cinnamon, to add a touch of flavor to the cookie.

    Old Fashioned Oats (whole oats) or Quick oats: both will work in this recipe, so whatever you have on hand

    Raisins; these can be any type of raisin you like.I have used both Thompson and Golden raisins.

    A plate full of vanishing oatmeal cookies.

    🔪 Instructions

    1. Pre heat oven to 350 degrees F. Line an ungreased cookie sheet with parchment paper.
    2. In a large bowl, using an electric mixer, beat butter, white sugar, and brown sugar on medium speed with an electric mixer until creamy.
    3. Add eggs and vanilla to the butter mixture. beat well.
    4. In a medium bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt. Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients and mix well.
    5. Stir in the oatmeal and raisins until well combined.
    6. Scoop cookie dough balls with a small cookie scoop and place on prepared baking sheet.
    7. Bake 10-12 minutes or until light golden brown.
    8. Cool on wire rack

    🥄 Equipment

    Large mixing bowl

    Cookie Sheet, I like to use an insulated sheet.

    Electric mixer, this makes creaming the butter and sugar easier.

    Rubber scraper, to clean the sides of the bowl.

    Hand whisk, I use this to combine the dry ingredients. A fork will work just as well.

    Cookie scoop, I always use my ¼ cup sized cookie scoop.

    Cookie spatula, a smaller spatula works best for removing these cookies from the baking sheet.

    Cooling rack, I like the racks with a mesh design so the cookies don't fall through.

    Cookies stacked on a white plate.

    🥫Storage

    Store cookies in an airtight container on the counter up to 1 week and in the freezer up to 3 months.

    📖 Variations

    • Add any combination of the following mix ins: candy-coated chocolate pieces, semisweet chocolate chips, white chocolate chips, or butterscotch chips.
    • Make bar cookies instead of drop cookies. Press cookie dough into a 13 x 9 inch baking pan that has been sprayed with non stick cooking spray. Bake for 35 minutes, or until golden. Cool completely and cut into 24 bars.

    💭 Tips

    • To soften the butter, place the stick in the microwave and heat in 10 second intervals. Depending on how cold the butter is, it can take anywhere from 10-20 seconds. You should be able to press your finger in the butter and leave a dent when it is soft enough.

    🍽 Serve with...

    The best way to enjoy these cookies is with a glass of cold milk, hot tea or coffee. We also like to make ice cream sandwiches with these cookies!

    🏫 The last word

    The original recipe from Quaker Oats indicates you will get 4 dozen cookies. However, every time I have made this recipe I only get 42 cookies. Nutrition calculations are done on my own personal results.

      These are my favorite oatmeal cookies, too. And whenever I take them somewhere, they really do "vanish" really quickly. =)
