Subject: Time to pay you back! From: Denise Date: 5/23/2021, 5:56 PM To: "phaedrus@hungrybrowser.com" Hi Uncle Phaedrus! Years ago I requested a recipe from you and you promptly found it. I am very grateful. Thank you. I just got another recipe that I wanted badly. When I was a young mother, back in the early 80s, I made a recipe from the back of the Quaker Oats box called "Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies." It was well named. It was perfect. Well, the recipe was changed and I really wanted the one I made. It had cloves and nutmeg, in addition to cinnamon. I wrote to the company and, to my surprise, they found it for me! I think that this is likely to be requested by someone, so here it is: Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies 1 cup (2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened 3/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar 1/2 cup granulated sugar 2 eggs 1/2 teaspoon vanilla 3 cups Quaker® Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked) 1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking soda 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon 1/4 teaspoon cloves 1/4 teaspoon nutmeg 1/2 teaspoon salt 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; 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. I always added raisins (1 cup). Denise
