Oatmeal cookies

Oatmeal Apple Cookies

Since I work at Toyota of Tri-Cities now I have to smell fresh baked cookies most of the day from our Loyalty Lounge, so I broke down and decided to make some oatmeal cookies... Well I didn't bother checking to see if we had enough oats left.  So here is the recipe that I used and wow did they come out epic.

3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup brown sugar
3/4 cup white sugar
2 eggs
1 tsp vanilla 
1 1/4 cup flour
1 tsp baking powder
1 tsp cinnamon 
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/4 cup rolled oats
2 packages apple cinnamon instant oatmeal
1 cup raisin (optional)

Preheat oven to 375.  Cream butter with both white and brown sugars.  Beat in eggs and vanilla.  In a separate bowl mix flour, salt, baking powder, and cinnamon.  Mix 1/3 at a time the dry ingredients in to the butter and sugar mix.  When this mixture is smooth add in the oats, instant oatmeal, and raisins.  Drop tablespoon size amounts on a cookie sheet and cook 8-10 minutes.  Let sit on cooling rack and then enjoy (with milk).
