I have been making these cookies for years and my husband makes them "vanish" before I can share them with anyone else!! They are incredible!

These are good yet I'm concerned about calories; how many are in each heaping tablespoon full cookie?

Thank you for the posting; this recipe brings back warm childhood memories. I'm baking these Gluten Free as I write. I'll post the Alterations if they turn out well.

Just tried this recipe; I was appalled. I usually make oatmeal drop cookies by the recipe on the Quaker Oats box. They've always been perfect so this time I didn't bother to make a test cookie. When shortening melted the cookies ran together, making a thin, solid plank on the cookie sheet. I looked in my recipe file box for the backup copy I had made, from a previous Quaker Oats box. The main ingredients and proportions were the same except for shortening. The old version called for 3/4 cup shortening plus 1/4 cup water; this version calls for 2 sticks butter = 1 cup, with no water. I strongly suggest you try this recipe with only 1.5 sticks of butter and the water (you'll need the moisture). My Vanishing Oatmeal cookies did exactly that -- right into the garbage can! I repeated my endeavor using their previous recipe and got the usual perfect results.
