Disappearing Oatmeal Cookies - lost recipe from Quaker Oat cannister

I'd been refilling the old Quaker Oats cannister with organic oats bought in bulk, but still used the cookie recipe in the lid.

Alas, Hubby threw the container away when he emptied it.

Does anyone have the original recipe? The QO website recipe is called "Famous" and looks different somehow. Missing cinnamon? or?

Appreciate your help, auntiebk

There's at least a dozen oatmeal cookie recipes on the QuakerOats site. I think the one you want is called _Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies_
