Directions:Heat oven to 375º. Beat together margarine and sugars until light and fluffy. Beat in egg and vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda, salt, and spices; add to the margarine mixture, mixing well. Stir in oats and any additions. Drop by rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheet or silicone baking sheet liner. Bake 8 to 9 minutes for a chewy cookie, 10 to 11 minutes for a crisp cookie. Cool 1 minute on the cookie sheet until firm enough to lift; remove to a wire cooling rack. Store in a tightly covered container. |

Notes: This recipe had been on the Quaker oatmeal box since 1955. They are what I consider the original and best oatmeal cookie. I prefer to use old-fashioned oats (although quick-cooking will work) and usually add pecans and raisins. Toast the pecans before adding them. Other additions could be chocolate, butterscotch, or peanut flavored chips.
