Oatmeal-Raisin-Nut Cookies

Sorry, no picture of these cookies. Our oldest son has the camera on a mountain in Colorado. He is there with a friend and his family and is busy rafting and hiking. Can't wait to see the pictures.

This is the recipe straight off the inside of the lid of Quaker Oats (Quick Oats).
It is my tried and true recipe and the only thing I like to do different at times is add pecans or walnuts. Yummy!!!
