The recipe for oatmeal cookies that I am looking for was included with the Quaker Oats old fashion in the round boxesin the 1960-1970s. I called for a 1/4 c. water.

When did Quaker Oaks change original recipe as I use to use it but Dales recipe here looks more like it. Thx in advance!

What happened to the original receipt that had crisco, it was on the inside

Does it make a difference if I use regular sugar over brown sugar?

What about craisins instead of raisins?

This is an easy, dependable recipe. Every time I make these I get rave reviews. Plus, you can substitute the raisins with butterscotch chips for a nice twist.

This is a classic cookie -- easily mixed all in one bowl and irrestible when they come out of the oven. I added nuts to half of mine, just for a change and that was a nice addition. Particularly liked the cinnamon in them and the slightly crunchy texture.

This is NOT the recipe from Quaker! The real recipe has 1c butter, no white sugar,(1.5c Brown not 1c) and it needs cinnamon.

My cookies came out sticky and didn't seem to have enough flour. I checked the recipe several times as I went along. Just to be sure(after my cookies came out of the oven to sticky), I checked this recipe with the one on the Quaker Oats web site. This recipe has 2 more Tablespoons of butter and 1/4 c. MORE brown sugar than their recipe...which explains exactly why mine aren't turning out like the cookies I remember. Sorry, but I am a bit disappointed.

First I added a tablespoon of honey to the mix. Then instead of raisins I used craisins then before baking I rolled the dough in cinnamon sugar for a crispy outside and a soft inside. I also baked them at 325 for 18-20 minutes. Yummy thanks for the recipe. Tried to add a pic but it wouldn't work on my cell phone.

I always make this recipe around the holidays, except I substitute the raisins for a bag of heath bar bits. The heath bit caramalize a little bit in the oven and the cookies are delicious

I substituted 1/4 cup of canola oil for 1 stick of butter, and used half the amount of granulated sugar and brown sugar than the recipe called. Cookies still turned out soft (with less fat versus using 2 sticks of butter), and quite sweet because of the raisins' natural sweetness. I ended up with 2 dozen palm-sized cookies. My husband loved them!

I just have to say, I have been making this recipe every year as part of the family traditional cookies. They are a hit every year. And, this year, I go to get the recipe on the oatmeal container, AND THEY HAVE CHANGED IT!!!! (now calls for a stick & 6 tablespoons of butter instead of 2 sticks). So, glad to know someone preserved the correct recipe here. I am writing it down this year (call me silly, I just never worried about it).
