One of my very FAVORITE cookie recipes is the Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin cookie recipe found under the lid on Quaker Oats™ oatmeal canisters. I've given it one little twist though: the one thing that could possibly be done to make this better. Any ideas? Anyone? Well I'll tell you, the one thing that makes all the difference in the world is using golden raisins instead of regular ones. They make these cookies AMAZING! I usually double the amount also. Sometimes if we have them on hand I do half golden raisins and half Craisins™. Those are also very good. By the way, HUGE shout out to Lori B who saw my Facebook lament and informed me that you can use 1c granulated sugar + 2 TBS molasses to make 1c brown sugar when you don't have any! Thanks, Lori! :-)
