My mom made these cookies during her most recent visit, and they lived up to their name by disappearing in a flash. I was out of brown sugar, so we used an additional cup of granulated sugar instead, plus a couple of tablespoons of molasses for flavor. The result was fantastic!
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter or margarine, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 cups oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup raisins
Preheat oven to 350. Beat together butter and sugars until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon, and salt; mix well. Stir in oats and raisins; mix well. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet; remove to wire rack.
Makes about 4 dozen.
* For bar cookies, bake 30 to 35 minutes in ungreased 13" x 9" metal baking pan.
