I use the recipe on the Quaker oats box and just add chocolate chips instead of raisins. Sometimes I don raisinsand white chocolate chips, and another time raisinets (sp).

This is what I use too but I usually leave out the cinnamon and add Raisinettes.
This is my favorite kind of cookie. Not bastardized with any sort of fruit (listen, sure, I guess maybe it's good, but if I was expecting an oatmeal chocolate chip cookie and I took a bite of something with RAISINS or CRANBERRIES in it, I would hork and die and probably cry with disappointment).
Anyway, I have no idea if this is just the Quaker recipe with chocolate chips swapped for raisins, but it's the one written down in my husband's recipe box (twss?) and he is the king of baking. I had to stand on a chair to get it since he is taller than me and has very long arms and keeps his recipes way at the back of the top shelf.
1 cup butter 1 cup brown sugar 1/2 cup white sugar 2 eggs 2 tsp vanilla extract 1 1/4 cups flour 1/2 tsp baking soda 1 tsp salt 3 cups oats 1 cup chocolate chips (optional 1 cup walnuts or pecans, but I hate walnuts so not if you're making them for me).
Preheat to 325.
Cream together butter, brown sugar and white sugar. Beat in one egg at a time, then stir in vanilla. Combine flour, baking soda and salt; stir into creamed mixture. Mix in chocolate chips.

They are GOOOOOOD. I'm sure the cup of butter has nothing to do with that. Ha ha ha.
I don't know what size it is exactly, but the husband uses a medium sized cookie scoop for these. The cookies end up like 2.25-2.5" in diameter. I tell you this because he's like Mr. Science about baking so I figure it matters.
