I received permission to paste this recipe and the results from a forum member who pm'd me:
The cookies turned out GREAT!. But I did not go exactly with the recipe.
I found another recipe at
Grandma's Oatmeal Raisin Cookies - Allrecipes Where you told me to go. That recipe would of made too many cookies so I looked on that Allrecipes site and found a recipe called Chocolate Raisin and Oatmeal Cookie Mix.

1/4 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/8 teaspoon baking soda
1/4 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice or -ground cinnamon
1 cup chocolate-covered raisins -I did not have. I sub. 1/4 C.no sugar choc. chips & added 1 C raisins.

To make Chocolate Raisin Oatmeal Cookies: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper or nonstick foil. In a large mixing bowl, stir together contents of jar with 1/3 cup softened butter, 2 eggs, and 1/2 teaspoon vanilla until well combined (dough will be soft). Drop by rounded teaspoons 2 inches apart on prepared cookie sheet. Bake in preheated oven for 9 to 11 minutes or until edges are brown. Cool on cookie sheet for 2 minutes. Transfer to wire racks and let cool.
It is a mix to give as a gift, but I just made it....Threw it all together. Made a hole in the dry ingr. and mixed the eggs, milk and vanilla in the hole and beat the wet ingr. first and gradually mixed it all with beater. I hand stired and added the raisens, choc. chips and the nuts.
They are very very good. How they will be tomorrow I shall see....smile! I put them in a closed cookie jar.
