Vanishing oatmeal cookie

I have been planning to do some cookies, and found a nice recipe on the back of Quaker oatmeal box lid -I noticed that when I was having an oatmeal+honey+milk bath-.

Ingredients
1/2 pound (2 sticks) butter, softened
1 cup firmly packed brown sugar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1-1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon salt (optional)
3 cups Quaker Oats (quick or old fashioned, uncooked)
1 cup raisins
*I also added a handful of chopped almonds
Preheat the oven to 175°C .

1. Cream butter and sugar together.
2. Add eggs.
3. Add sifted flour, baking soda, cinnamon to the wet ingredients.
4. Mix oatmeal, raisins and almonds.
5. Drop by spoonfuls on the baking tray.
6. Bake for around 12 minutes until brown.

The cookies were crispy on the edge but soft in the middle. I think it will make nice ice cream sandwiches. If I want to be naugthy, I will make lemony cream cheese frosting instead of ice cream and sandwich it between cookies.
I flattened cookie mixture before putting them in the oven because the first batch was a bit too puffy for my taste.
