This is one of my favorite recipes. The original
recipe came from the Quaker Oats container. My mom made the original
recipe quite often when we were kids. I put my own healthy spin on the
original. I have substituted apple sauce for butter and cut back on the
sugar. In addition, I use almond slivers and/or coconut flakes.

2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 1/2 cups unbleached, all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon cinnamon
3 cups Quaker Oats (old-fashion, uncooked)
1 1/4 cup raisins
*omitted* 1/2 cup granulated sugar
Extras: 1/4 cup almond slivers and/or 1/4 cup coconut flakes

Heat oven to 350 F. Beat together apples sauce and sugar. Add eggs and vanilla, beat well.
Add combined flour, baking soda and cinnamon. Mix well. Stir in oats and raisins (and almond slivers/coconut flakes). Mix well.
Drop by rounded tablespoons onto ungreased (I use Pam) cookie sheet. Bake 10-12 minutes or until golden brown.
Cool 1 minute on cookie sheet if you can wait that long. Remove to wire rack if there are any left.
