Oatmeal Raisin Cookies

1/2 lb (2 sticks) margarine or butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla
1 1/2 cups all purpose flour
1 tsp baking soda
1 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp salt (optional)
3 cups Quaker Oats (uncooked)
1 cup raisins

::Heat oven to 350

::Stir in oats & raisins; mix well
::Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet

This makes about 3-4 dozen cookies. I added a little extra cinnamon and a pinch of nutmeg and they turned out perfectly! Yum!
