Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies image

I give these as Christmas gifts and take them to showers. They are a hit every time. Pecans will work, too, if black walnuts aren't available.

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup margarine, softened
1 cup packed brown sugar
½ cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 cup raisins
1 cup black walnuts, coarsely ground
1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
½ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice
3 cups rolled oats

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Beat margarine and sugars, until creamy. Add eggs and vanilla; beat well. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices. Sift and add to the egg mixture. Stir well.
  • Grind the raisins up with 1 teaspoon of sugar until they are in small pieces--not mush! Stir in oats, nuts, raisins and mix well, drop by tablespoonful onto ungreased cookie sheet. Bake 10 to 12 minutes or until light brown. Cool 1 minute and remove to wire rack. When cool store in airtight container. NOTE: You can add butterscotch or chocolate pieces in place of the raisins.

I'm not a big fan of coconut, but I really enjoyed these cookies. The coconut flavor was subtle and complemented the other ingredients well.

These cookies were just okay. I think I would have liked them more if they had more spices.

The cookies had a nice flavor, but I found them to be a bit dry.

I followed the recipe exactly and the cookies turned out perfectly. They were soft and chewy on the inside and crispy on the edges. I will definitely be making these again!
