    Add the quick cook oats and raisins into the mix and with clean hands mix it up real good. Using a tablespoon, scoop up the mix by tbsp and shape into rounds. Set them on the paper, 2" apart. Bake for 8-10 minutes or until very light golden brown. Watch very carefully since they can burn easy. :let cool. I spoon 1/2 the frosting into a microwave safe bowl, microwave 10 seconds or until just a little melted. Spoon over the cookies. Let set.
