Quaker Vanishing Oatmeal Cookies

Hello and welcome. Whenever I need this recipe I can never find it and that's partly why I am staring this blog. I am also hoping that my friends and family will join in to share their tried and true recipes and give us a forum to communicate a little more. Stay tuned because you will find lots of recipes from Sheila who inspires me on a monthly basis as I watch her cook delicious meals in her kitchen for a group of us.
