Amazing Oatmeal Raisin Walnut Cookies

This great cookie recipe was tweaked from the original Vanishing Oatmeal Raisin Cookies as found on the Quaker Oats lid. I have been making these cookies for the past 20 years. I make them with Land O Lakes Light Butter with Canola Oil (50% less fat & calories than regular butter) and they still taste GREAT! The original has only raisins but I add walnuts for irresistible cookies. And, these cookies freeze great.
