Just made some and they were so good. I subbed the last cup of oatmeal with two packages of instant apples and cinnamon oatmeal. Oh, so good.

WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL, MY MOTHER MADE US OATMEAL THINS. THIS WAS COOKIE BATTER SPREAD OVER A COOKIE SHEET, ONCE IT WAS COOKED, SHE CUT INTO SQUARES. MY MOTHER PASSED ABOUT 10 YEARS AGO. MY SISTERS AND I CAN’T FIND THIS RECEIPT ANYWHERE. ANY IDEA WHERE I CAN FIND OLD OATMEAL COOKIE RECEIPTS? THIS RECEIPT IS AT LEAST 45 YEARS OLD.

Thanks for the tips. I actually did use butter. Right after I posted my questions I read the quaker box and noticed that it said two sticks of butter, not 2 cups. I used double the butter. What a waste. I’ll get it next time. P.S. it was over a 100 degrees F here yesterday. Thanks again.

first off I would guess substituting the butter for shortening. In this recipe you just cant do it, I have tried with similar results. Next I would check to see if you used the old fashioned oats or the quick oats..again there is a difference. If it was really hot where you are you might need to keep the dough in the fridge between batches.. Hope that helps. I have never had a problem with these except the time I tried subsituting butter for the shortening.

I made these cookies today following instructions. They smelled really good in the oven but the dough just made a messy puddle of caramelized sugar and butter on the outside and the raisins and oats in the middle. What did I do wrong? All of the ingredients were measured correctly and I thought I mixed everything thoroughly. Thanks.
