Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

I finally got around to making the famous Quaker Oats Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin cookies. I regret that I waited so long to make these! I have been missing out on amazing cookie goodness!

I refrigerated the cookie dough for about 30 minutes before baking, which resulted in a thicker cookie. It was still very, very chewy. For a thinner cookie, just skip the refrigerator. I'm not a huge raisin fan, though. In the future I will make these plain or mix in some mini chocolate chips instead.

Do you have any classic cookie recipe recommendations?
