Mix well until all the dry ingredients have been properly incorporated.
Add the Quaker quick oats and the raisins, mixing well to distribute them evenly in the dough.
Place rounded tablespoons of the dough onto an ungreased cookie sheet, leaving space between them.
Bake for 10 to 12 minutes or until the cookies are golden and firm to the touch.
Let the cookies cool for 2 minutes on the sheet before transferring them to a wire rack to cool completely.
