These are really the best oatmeal cookies I've ever made. Instead of just all-purpose flour, I used 1/2 c. all-purpose flour 3/4 c. whole wheat flour. 1/4 c. mixture of oat bran, wheat bran and wheat germ. I also substituted cinnamon for the pumpkin spice. Additionally, I used dark chocolate chips and chopped mixed nuts. SOOOOOO yummy. Next time I might substitute apple sauce for half the butter, to make it a little more healthy.

This is a fabulous recipe -and as another reviewer stated, it's the same as the recipe under the Quaker Oats lid. I use the recipe as a base, and make some changes for a really good and tasty treat. *Instead of rasins, I use a cup of Craisins - the tart and sweetness really adds to the flavor. *Instead of walnuts I use a cup of semi-sweet chocolate chips. Delicious! *And rather than pumpkin pie spice, I use a tsp of cinnamon and a tsp of nutmeg. Nutmeg makes everything taste delicious, in my humble opinion. *I also highly recommend using real salted cream butter and cutting the salt down to a 1/4 tsp. WE LOVE THESE COOKIES!

This recipe was outstanding. Most oatmeal cookies are too salty for my family, but this one was perfect!

I’m giving 5 stars to the original Quaker Oatmeal Cookie Recipe. The original Vanishing Oatmeal Cookie recipe from Quaker Oats is usually found right under the lid of the canister of Quaker Oats. The recipe is exactly the same except for one ingredient the original recipe calls for cinnamon instead of pumpkin pie spice, we think the cinnamon taste much better in the cookies, of course the raisins and nuts are optional that’s up to your taste. If you do use raisins try softening them before you put them in the cookies it keep the texture more moist, I like to make mine a little bigger and don’t over bake them, keep them nice and soft. I always use butter never margarine but that’s also your personal taste.

This is almost the exact same recipe as Quaker oats vanishing oatmeal cookies. I used 2 sticks of unsalted butter, skipped the walnuts and used apple pie spice instead of pumpkin pie spice. These cookies are so tasty and soft it really is hard to stop eating them! One more thing I do not grind up the raisins I don't think that is necessary. If you love oatmeal cookies you will love these.

I made this cookies a few times and the family members just loved it. But I replaced the pumpkin spice with cinnamon as I find it taste better. We prefer the cookies to be crunchy than chewy so I bake it for an extra 10 min. Is pefect.

I found this to be a very simply recipe which baked into nicely rounded cookies. My husband felt the pumpkin pie spice was too strong. I should note that I used chocolate pieces rather than raisins. I don't know if that change had an effect. Were I to make these again, I'd probably use the raisins.
